Leaving Tenterfield, we set out bound for a family Christmas catch up in Tamworth. Approaching Uralla at lunch time, my taste buds were looking for a really good Aussie hamburger. You know the sort, one with beetroot and the buns toasted. So I talked everyone in the car into a hamburger with instructions to keep their eyes peeled for somewhere suitable.
Parking the car in the street, the highway goes through the main street, we set out on foot for the elusive hamburger. Fortunately one was found at the Thunderbolt country kitchen. It was heaven and so good I ate it without taking the photographic evidence.
There are heaps of fancy cafes and restaurants in Uralla lining the main street, even a micro brewery. The Thunderbolt doesn't look fancy but their burger was great and their coffee good too.
Whilst we were here only briefly, I snapped some photos. There are quite a lot of old buildings preserved in Uralla and I would like to one day stop and do the heritage walk.

The sweet shop. With decadence from around the world. My husband and son managed to sneak in and buy me a Christmas present. Some Scottish toffee's. Yum they were great.
Leaving Uralla, we travelled the rest of the way to Tamworth. As we were staying with family over Christmas we didn't really do any sight-seeing, though we did drop by the golden guitar and truck memorial for a photo.

Travelling back to Brisbane we stopped briefly at Cunningham's Gap for a break and photo op.
Our next holiday should be our cruise to the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). We've had it booked since early last year and we are so looking forward to it.
