Lifestyle

Tamworth is a regional capital city and one of the most progressive and exciting places in inland Australia - we combine country living with city style.

Country living means no traffic, clean air and easy parking while city style means golf courses, restaurants, cafes and speciality stores in a stress free environment a short distance from home.

Whether your idea of the perfect home is a large acreage 10 minutes drive from the CBD, or a double brick federation home within walking distance you can do it in Tamworth. Our regional towns give you the opportunity to immerse yourself in the community and really get a sense of belonging.

Within striking distance of Tamworth we have many choices of recreational activity. For the outdoor types our region offers some of the best areas in the state for bush walking, kayaking, rock climbing, abseiling, bird watching, camping, and of course the world famous paragliding at Manilla. If a more relaxed lifestyle appeals, you don’t have to go far from Tamworth before you see vineyards, olive groves and market gardens.

The Tamworth region is home to an exciting arrray of tourist, cultural and community experiences. The Tamworth Regional Gallery offers an ever changing smorgasbord of artistic experiences. The Tamworth Regional Conservatorium of Music regularly showcases the talent of our local musicians. The Tamworth Regional Library holds regular book readings, author visits, and a food and literature program that tempts the tastebuds as well as the mind.
