A Trip to Tenterfield.

So...today, while Will was making cheese, Anne and I went south to Tenterfield. Tenterfield is in New South Wales, 50 kms  away from Frogknot and about a 35 minute drive. Tenterfield is the birthplace of Peter Allen, a songwriter, musician and entertainer and the first husband of Liza Minelli. Tenterfield is also famous for being the place that Sir Henry Parkes, Premier of New South Wales, delivered his famous federation speech in 1889. This speech led to the Federation of Australia in 1901. The Federation of Australia was the process by which the six separate British self-governing colonies of Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, South Australia, and Western Australia agreed to unite and form the Commonwealth of Australia, establishing a system of federalism in Australia.Anne was disappointed by the shops but still managed to find some earrings to buy. We had a hot chocolate, saw the view from Mount Mackenzie, visited the Cork Tree, the Weather Rock and the Henry Parkes Museum.
