Count me out for Tamworth or Dubbo. I travel through Tamworth all the time on my way to or from our house in Guyra. I also used to go through Dubbo all the time on the Newell on my way to Leeton from Guyra. Both are country towns that have grown too big to be friendly. Ok, you can get a double decaf skinny latte on soy in those places now but I like getting out to the bush and the smaller places. The best places I usually find to stay are small pubs like Tintaldra or Burra or somewhere where you can just throw a tent up in the yard or park your swag outside the pub. Get up in the morning, wet a line in the creek and then go for a ride, find a small town and get bacon and eggs with toast for breaky then keep riding and end up somewhere cool for lunch and a drink then end up back at the swag or tent and start over again. I'm only one vote but if I have to go to Tamworth I'll need a short cut via somewhere interesting to make it worth it
