As you arrive in Tambo you’ll pass beautiful heritage buildings and streets lined with native bottle trees. Make time to wander the main street, discovering the stories of the Heritage Precinct. Tambo played a vital role in the early telegraph system linking the north of Australia with the south. You’ll discover a whole host of post and telegraph artefacts. You can even see and hear a Morse code message in operation! See the latest exhibition at the Grassland Art Gallery. This beautiful centre hosts locally produced and curated displays featuring a mix of regional and touring exhibitions. Just down the street is the famous Tambo Teddies workshop where you can see these cuddly favourites come to life. Continue to the southern entrance of town to the Tambo Dam and Parklands. The dam provides a wonderful habitat for birds, so it’s a great spot for ‘twitchers’ particularly early mornings or late afternoons. Enjoy a picnic, a relaxing walk or a refreshing swim. When the dam is full, expect to see locals skiing and tobogganing. Stroll the Coolibah Walk on the banks of the Barcoo River. The river with its many swimming holes and fishing spots is popular with locals and visitors alike. Just over the bridge on the Tambo-Alpha road, there is a popular local fishing hole…..but you didn’t hear it from us!
