wise23girl Says: Armidale..Northern N.S.WSo if you are interested in old historical buildings do find Smith House.It is just across from Central Park and was once part of the Armidale College of Advanced Education campus. It was where I came for Summer School for my nursing education diploma...
wise23girl Says: Armidale Northern NSWThere are beautiful trees and gardens in Armidale and I am sure you will love the park. It is quite close to the CBD and just opposite Smith House.I noticed a sign for a heritage walk but as I had only a few minutes before we set off on the next leg of...
iandsmith Says: Well, not sure about the devil but, after going to Europe a few times I've started to look around Australia with a more practised eye than previously and the influences of the Old World are evident everywhere.This particular pilaster is on a bank at the end of the Eastern...
Intrepidduck Says: The one main reason to come to Armidale is to visit Booloominbah. The former home of pastorialist Frederick Robert White was designed by Horbury Hunt and completed in 1888. A real gentleman's residence in the fashionable English style, Booloominbah was unique for Australia...

Gourmet Food and Coffee To Go: Breakfast for sure
wise23girl Says: Armidale.. Northern New South WalesThis is a great spot for breakfast. We enjoyed our eggs and the works but this time found the coffee a little bitter.The surrounds are very pleasant...there are outside tables and a couch inside if it is a bit chilly in the morning. and it...
The Gold Fish Bowl Espresso Bar: Cafe Culture
Intrepidduck Says: If you miss the atmosphere of a busy city cafe then this is where it is at in Armidale. This establishment is closed on a Sunday, but is open early other days. The coffee and chocolate croissants are the best in New England.
Booloominbah Cafe: Coffee with class
Intrepidduck Says: In the tradition of the great coffee houses of Europe this is indeed a rare find in provincial Australia. The cafe is of course a new addition to this former residence, but in harmony to the building's architectural interior. A wonderful place to relax at in the club...
Most of the year(during university times) armidale is populated mainly by people aged 18-25 which makes is a fun, welcoming and young place to go out in. Armidale has 'designated' places to attend each night, depending on your taste. Sundays-Sunday drinking sessions are held at the Wicklow, good for live music in the summer with an open, friendly atmostophere and beer garden. Mondays-With most uni students in studying, this night is generally reserved for quiet dinners, the best meals in town are at the railway hotel and the imperial, with the imperial being better value for money. Tuesdays- Tattersals in the mall goes off, with Robb college making a ruckus here every tuesday night. Wednesdays - The Uni Bistro is the place to go, with popular dance music and a young, vibrant, keen drinking crowd of uni students. Thursdays-Depending on your preferences, The Royal hotel(a little bit quieter and a fair bit more local) or The Kilda(Albies designated pub, with pool tables, a dance floor and plenty of seating) Fridays- The Whitebull hotel is the Classiest venue in armidale, with good, clean facilities, a dance floor and a friendly vibe, its the only place to be on a friday night besides your house parties(Hint- Dont *** the boucer off here, Roger has a reputation for enforcing lifetime bans on the spot, and get here before 11pm, with lockout at 12.30, the line can get very long) Saturdays- The New England has an ample dancefloor and DJ every saturday night, it has a large balcony for smokers and up to three operating bars, a young crowd though, so often a tamer crowd can be found at the Whitebull on a saturday also.
Dress Code: No thongs or singlets at the whitebull or newy... heavily intoxicated people will not be allowed on any premices in armidale. Bring a local uni student with you to the bistro(the stro) as they will need to sign you in past the door.

Helpfulness
Well there is really such an array of unusual gifts you really cannot pass this double storey little place by. I even saw a horse in the upper window as I was taking a photo so do not be surprised at what you find. No it was not a real live horse.
But you will enjoy not only the array of gifts but also the decor.

iandsmith Says: continued -"We moved on up the climb though I sidetracked down to a streamlet that gurgled attractively enough to lure me to its cool splashing waters, drooping ferns and decaying branches. It wasn’t a permanent stream but it was nice when it did run.It sits at the bottom of...
iandsmith Says: To visit Woolpack Rocks you travel on the Ebor-Guyra Road before turning off onto the road to Native Dog Creek Rest Area. There are both camping and picnic sites at the rest area, fees apply.The following is from my first trip to the walk:"It had rained; lord it had rained....
iandsmith Says: Total Height:1392 feet 424 meters Tallest Single Drop:852 feet 260 meters Number of Drops:2 There's some official stats. When you get there you'll find some excellent walking trails. The one to your right leads to three lookouts and eventually to Chandler Gorge. The facts...
iandsmith Says: I had lunch back at HQ and set out again, this time with a DEECS (NPWS) worker called Matt. He was going to see if the bridge across the Wollomombi was still there. It was, but it was in trouble as the raging waters tried desperately to remove it. A couple of other tourists...
iandsmith Says: The jagged spur that splits the Wollomombi and Chandler gorges stood like a sentinel over the scene, parting the two great conflicts until they could be managed more easily downstream. The afternoon before I’d spent in much more tranquil surroundings, surveying the limpid...
iandsmith Says: Off along the trail I trod, through the Spanish-moss covered trees whose twisted trunks lent a ghost like quality to the experience. Choughs scattered before me as I walked further, their squawking the only noise I could hear above the almighty roar of Wollomombi. It was...
iandsmith Says: I learned that a lyre bird, the world’s greatest mimic, used to whistle a flute solo from Vivaldi that a wood worker from England used to play every afternoon. I learned that when he goes walking, Don uses the minimalist approach to the point where he manufactures his own...
iandsmith Says: It was raining.....again or still, take your pick. I’d parked at the end of a short dirt road where the Armidale Tree Group had their headquarters. It was quiet but muddy and the rain, light now, was consistent. Not a good day for shooting birds, more your day for...
iandsmith Says: When you wander through the Australian bush it can be quite rewarding. It can be even more rewarding (and dangerous) going off the beaten track.However, it's something I tend to do regularly and I've included some of the photographs I've taken during such excursions around...
iandsmith Says: At times during the climb, you lose sight of your goal only for it to re-emerge even larger than before. Then there's a sence of presence, of awe of the geology of the place. The time it takes to weather such stones into such shapes defies the imagination.The fragility of...
iandsmith Says: The plant life is varied here, clinging to its existence in unfavourable circumstances. Yet, despite that there is diversification. Whether or not it is lichen clinging to a fence post (pic 1), amazing fungus halfway up a tree (Pic 2), grasses in a minamilist soil area (pic...
