With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it'd be much more difficult to experience everything that Tamworth, 62 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Big Golden Guitar Tourist Centre, Tamworth Capitol Theatre and Longyard Golf Course. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Inverell, 62 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Sinclair Park. (But we're also big fans of Inverell and District Memorial Olympic Pool and Inverell Racecourse.)
