One of your first stops should be Big Golden Guitar Tourist Centre. Here, you'll be able to find your bearings and pick up some great ideas before you begin exploring.
When you've finished up at this Hillvue tourist information center, why not check out Australian Equine and Livestock Events Centre, Tamworth Capitol Theatre, and TAFE New England Tamworth Campus? They're not too far from Big Golden Guitar Tourist Centre and also a favorite with tourists.
