Welcome TAMBO RAMBO to the Tambo Heritage Precinct in the wool display room. Standing with him is Mrs Hazel Rogers of Tambo who is a volunteer at the precinct.

'Rambo' was made by Milynda Rogers of Barcaldine - Scrapmetalshiela utilising metal frame, wire, bike chain and mesh. He was delivered by her husband, Daryl.

We did not dream of this wonderful outcome. The idea was initiated at our March meeting this year, by Allyson Holmes & Hazel Rogers.
Thank you Scrapmetalshiela for your kind donation.

New seating at the Tambo Heritage Precinct in front of the old bottle tree.
Wheels - donated by the Sargood Family,
Bloodwood slabs and chair made by David Still,
Cement base was donated by Nutrien Tambo. Thank you to all involved including the BTRC staff assistance with the installation.

It was fitting to snap a photo of Peter Sargood in the chair.

30 years ago ‘Belle of the Barcoo’ book was released by Mrs Jan L’Estrange who recorded the history of the Barcoo area and Tambo.

The book was an important part to start our research into the missing names of the 503 Unmarked graves in the Tambo Cemetery.
Twelve months ago, Jan opened the newly built wall with the first 6 large plaques on it, whereby she gave an impressive talk on the history of Tambo.
We now have another 90 verified names to add in the future.

Thank you Jan for your incredible achievement!

Thank you to the Blackall Tambo Regional Council for the 50:50 Shopfront Grant Renewal Program to beautify the entrances of both Heritage Precinct buildings.
Pots and plants were purchased from The Potting Shed, another small business in Tambo.
The plants are looking great and have certainly refreshed the entrances.

Tourism season is certainly making itself known in Tambo, and it's fantastic to see! 🚐☀️

Over the past few weeks we've welcomed a steady stream of visitors from right across Australia, and it's been wonderful seeing so many people stopping in to explore our Heritage Centre.

Every visitor who walks through our doors helps support our local community. They stay in our accommodation, buy fuel, enjoy a meal at our cafés and pubs, shop in our local businesses, and take home a little piece of Tambo's history. It's a reminder of just how important tourism is to our town and the wider region.

One of the best parts has been hearing the stories our visitors share and watching them discover the rich history that makes Tambo such a special place. Seeing families, caravanners, and travellers taking the time to appreciate our heritage makes all the hard work of our volunteers worthwhile. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who has visited, and to our dedicated volunteers who continue to welcome people with a friendly smile and a wealth of local knowledge. Communities don't preserve their history by accident. It takes people willing to give their time, which is apparently a rarer commodity than caravan parks with vacancies this time of year. 😄

If you're passing through Tambo, be sure to drop in and say hello. We'd love to show you what makes our little corner of Queensland so special.
