Oldest town in the central west ... Tambo

We left Charleville and headed up the Matilda Highway towards Blackwell. Our first stop was Augathela to see the wire sculptures.

We passed this van on the way.

Also some lovely cloud and sky patterns.

We had lunch in Tambo at the free camp at Stubby Bend. A good place to camp for an overnight.  As we only stopped for lunch I didn't get to experience much of the history. Tambo is famous for its Teddies and a drive down the street shows that the history is well documented. In 1862 Tambo was a stopping place for settlers and travellers. The first pub was also built in 1862. The dingo fence runs through the Tambo area and can be seen from the highway just north of the town. Definitely on our overnight stay list for next time.
