Picturesque Manilla is on the junction of the Namoi and Manilla Rivers, approx 45 NNW of Tamworth.

Mother Nature at her best - Mt Baldwin, Manilla

 

 Manilla has its own 80 Km Endurance Ride in July each year. Base camp is at the showgrounds. First leg is over the river, along Wimbourne Road, over Byrnes Gap and back down to the Namoi River. Second leg and training ride is through "Melrose" and adjoining property "Braemar". Some pics from the ride 16/07/06. Finally, long awaited rain arrived for the weekend as well which made for some slippery, muddy sections along the way.  The "Tom Quilty" is coming to town!
