June was a month of weekend adventures. My colleague Cath invited me to go to Tamworth with her for her daughters netball training. So I tagged along and brought my running gear with me as we planned for a quick run as she and I are training for the Sydney to Surf 14km run in August. Tamworth is know for its country singing roots and has a Golden Guitar at its tourist information centre. Before heading home we stopped downtown for lunch and I had my picture taken by Slim Dusty, a well known Australian country singer. Tamworth hosts the country music festival every January which attracts big names like Keith Urban and alike.
My other weekend get-a-way was to a little place called Gostwyck. It is located just outside Urella and it consists of a little church on the edge of a tree lined private driveway. My colleagues from work, Deb, Jen and Kim took me to the local "Upper Pub" for tea (lunch) and drinks. We popped into a local shop called the "Wool Room" to browse their wool products. Beautiful items to keep you warm and cozy through the winter months. We also visited the local book store and I picked up two old maps from turn of the century Encyclopedia Britannica's. Really cool!
