We're truly proud of our place and were happy to tell you all about it.
Blackall is a place for the young and not so young. There's something for everyone here.
Our region is renowned for our wealth of produce. We're the home of world class cattle and sheep that are the heart of our vibrant economy.
Our natural heritage is vast and diverse too. When you get out here you'll be amazed at Blackall's neighbouring National Parks and our stunning native animals and plants.
Another great reason people travel here is national treasure and local shearing legend Jackie Howe.
Just a short trip from Tambo and you'll discover the Wilderness Way.
It's part of Sir Thomas Mitchell's original track through the region and meanders around the scenic views of the Great Dividing Range, Salvatore Rosa National Park and back to Tambo. You mustn't miss it!
It's amazing how much the landscape changes along the way.
Just park up for free camping in Tambo and enjoy the many walks around the place. You'll soon find out why Tambo - the oldest town in the Central West - was originally settled and became famous for it's wool and nowadays for its handmade woollen teddy bears.
It didn't take long for our community to grow into the great little town that's full of welcoming faces.
Drop into one of our watering holes for a yarn with a friendly local and find out why Tambo's a top place to live or stay, whether it's for a lifetime or a picnic in the park.
At first, Tambo may seem like a sleepy little village but there's plenty to see and do here too.
Tambo comes to life on race days, polocrosse meets - in fact if you're adventurous you'll find your place soon enough. There's just so much room to move - just saddle up and start exploring!
Locals remember the fateful day of Australia's first and only QANTAS crash here on Tambo's own claypan...
Tambo has a proud history that can be seen throughout our heritage precinct. The court house, post office and telegraph station are great places to experience our history first hand.
Well what do you reckon??? Not bad for a little town that been around for 150 years'.
Well, we've got to leave you now. It's all up to you! Now it's your turn to make the journey and enjoy what we enjoy everyday - our unique region of Blackall and Tambo... See you soon!
BTW, no bears were harmed in the making of this film...

QMF 2013 - Tambo: Heart of an Open Country
Tambo: Heart of an Open Country is the result of hours of generous story sharing between Tambo residents, both past and present, Queensland Music Festival and writers Michael and Margery Forde.
Stories of their lives, of a town, of a past and a future are beautifully reflected in this world premiere musical theatre production, which brings to life the characters, the adventures, the hardships and most of all the heart of a remarkable western Queensland town.
Directed by Michael Forde with a band led by Music Director, Shenzo, the musical heartbeat of Tambo: Heart of an Open Country is provided by country music legend, Graeme Connors. His deep, rich body of work is the perfect vehicle to carry the narrative of the past 150 years of Tambo. But the real star of the show is the community itself.
Performing alongside professional musicians and actors over two magnificent nights, the people of Tambo, adults and school children alike, came together with one heartfelt commonality -- to honour their town.
The Tambo: Heart of an Open Country celebration is part of T-150 A Week in the West.
