Ace! But where is your hat?

If you’re packing everything in your luggage being Australia your destination and enjoying this country music fest is one of your plans, you should wear a good cowboy hat: because of its latitude and their severe weather in summertime, Aussies are used to wear outback and western hats all day and night long, and not only to protect from the sunbeams, but because it’s still deeply rooted as part of their heritage.

And when we talk about hats, we can replace this with belts, cowboy boots, western shirts, bandannas or some of the most genuine country and line dance products you will find at Corbeto’s

And if you’re reading this regretting you missed a great Tamworth’s Country Music Festival edition, don’t feel discouraged and think positive: you will have plenty of time getting ready the next January, as many more editions will take place as one of the best country music hot spots during ten intense days and lots of unforgettable experiencies.
