Every Easter the gates of Hartwood, just south of Tambar Springs, open for the public to enjoy a long-weekend of first-class country music and entertainment in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
A campfire stage set amongst the trees presents a combination of professional and ‘walk-up’ artists and performers every night, from Monday through to Sunday.
Meanwhile, a second stage provides non-stop professional country music and bush poetry entertainment from Friday afternoon and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Campers are encouraged to come early and most do.
Hartwood has been called the people’s festival – pets and children attend for free. Hundreds of caravans, motorhomes, camper trailers, and a sprinkling of tents gather here for the week to enjoy the great country music entertainment, a laid-back camping experience, and a special camaraderie with their fellow country music fans.

The Great Australia Duck Race is a reason to make Cobar Memorial Swimming Pool your destination for Australia Day! The ducks (yellow rubber duckies) are numbered 1-200 and have to swim the 50 metre length of the pool.
First duck to reach the shallow end and touch the wall is the winner!
Enjoy the rest of the activities at the pool including the giant inflatable obstacle, the water slide and score a BBQ lunch by one of the local community groups.
Soak up the atmosphere of the pool and the celebration of local heroes being awarded Australia Day honors for their amazing work.
