A Wiradjuri/Gamilaroi man playing the didgeridoo for two elephants is one of the most joyous experiences I've ever witnessed.

Its nearly 200 years since John Oxley and his team crossed the Peel River at Tamworth in September 1818. He was the first known white man to walk through this Gamilaroi country, where local Aboriginal people knew the area as Calala. Rod Hobbs from Tamworth Historical Society speaking at Tamworth West Rotary told members of the development of the area after Oxley, through the Australian Agricultural company, early town plans with Marius and Darling Streets designed as the original streets, but water was easier to find down the hill near Peel street so it took over as the main street. Thomas Mitchell designed the original streets wide enough to be able to turn a horse and cart, so we have to thank him for that! #tamworth #tamworthnsw #tamworthhistory #tamworthhistoricalsociety #rotary #rotaryinternational #rotaryclub #tamworthwestrotary #gamilaroi #johnoxley #peelstreet #peelriver #australianagriculturalcompany (at The Rotary Club of Tamworth West Inc.)
