[billabong-john]

Hi fellow owners..

me the fiance (and my pet R32) are moving down to tamworth in january and i was just wondering if anybody can shed some light on the area(suburbs,night life,jobs etc).. We were down in Kootingal a couple of week ago visiting family and loved it down there, compared to brisbane it was so layed back

never seen half as many skylines though?? Brisbane on the other hand is full of them

my cousins live there it aint to bad there isnt much of a night life except for pubs and people doing peelies (ull get it when u get there) as for work if u like to gut chickens then u should be able to get work easy but other than that u may strugle then again u might get lucky well good luck with it

I grew up there and my sister moved back there recently, lot of other family scattered around the area. Havent lived there for some time but my brother in law says finding work is pretty easy, if you have a trade of some sort or well qualified and experienced. My sister has a bit of trouble finding work as she's mostly hospitality industry/early child care stuff which there isnt a lot about.

Housing is really cheap compared too most places and the building industry is still fairly busy up there, most of the suburbs are a much a much, (stay out of Coledale though!) roads are terrible for anyone with hard suspension

Night life, well theres lots of pubs, couple of night clubs, workers club I think still open and West Leagues club and so forth, wouldnt be able too recommend any of them specifically.

GTFO around January... it fills up with country music freaks.

Its a good time too take a holiday
