A collection of shots from Australia's biggest Country Music Festival, held at Tamworth NSW in January 2009.
* On the first weekend Nick was master of ceremonies at both the Grand Final of the 30th Toyota Star Maker Quest (on Sunday afternoon) and Star Trek (the celebration of 30 years of Star Maker). Lyn was in the audience and took some shots for us.
* Then through the Festival we have taken shots (when we have remembered to take the camera).

The (US) Country Music Association (CMA) presented its prestgious International Broadcaster award to Nick for the second time in 2007. He was first presented with the award in its inaugral year 1997.
The presentation was made by multi award winning US act Brooks & Dunn at their final Austarlian concert in Sydney in March 2008.
A few weeks later the Tamworth Regional Council held a Civic Reception to recognise Nick's achievements.
That Tamworth was special. It was to be the last time we saw Smoky Dawson at the Festival. He'd been coming from the start - and although he was frail he flew up to be inducted into the Galaxy of Stars in the forecourt of the Tamworth Regional Entertainment and Convention Centre.
And on Australia Day Nick did a special daytime edition of CMR across the Super Network with some special guests who have long and strong connections with Country Music.
