The permanent tribute celebrates their enormous contribution to Australian music, songwriting and touring, as well as their lasting influence on the country music industry.

A commemorative plaque at Tamworth Town Hall honours the five Founding Fathers of the Tamworth Country Music Capital: Warwick Higginbotham, Max Ellis OAM, Kevin Knapp, John Minson and Eric Scott OAM, whose vision helped establish Tamworth as Australia's home of country music. The plaque was unveiled on January 17 2025, with Max Ellis OAM and Eric Scott OAM present.
Outside Tamworth's Town Hall, the original home of the Golden Guitar Awards, is the mural 'Ode to Joy' by Charlie Nivison. Nivison (Silly Pear), a Sydney based artist, grew up in nearby Walcha, the son of artist Angus Nivison. Angus Nivison was the commissioned artist who painted the previous mural on that very wall in 1983, making this rebrand a fitting next chapter for the site and the story of Tamworth.
The new artwork is a bright and bold work that celebrates the legacy of Joy McKean, the first ever recipient of a Golden Guitar Award in 1973, and Tamworth's proud connection to country music.
At the heart of the mural Joy is positioned alongside lyrics from her iconic song 'Lights on the Hill' which received the inaugural Golden Guitar Award in 1973 and was made famous by her husband Slim Dusty. Slim Dusty also features in the piece, alongside the historic Tamworth Town Hall, the original home of the Golden Guitar Awards, and flora and fauna that celebrate the character of the region. The mural is painted in Nivison's signature style – bold, bright and full of character, a modern representation of Tamworth's country music legacy and the people who helped build it.
John Williamson has been immortalised in bronze on the streets of Tamworth, recognising his outstanding contribution to Australian country music and his enduring connection to the community.

Located along Tamworth's famous Country Music Hands of Fame precinct, the statue celebrates Williamson's remarkable career as a singer-songwriter, entertainer and storyteller whose music has captured the spirit, landscapes and people of Australia for more than five decades.
The tribute has become a popular attraction for visitors and fans wishing to honour one of Australia's most beloved country music legends.

A tribute to the men of the ANZAC corps who served in the Boer, Sudan and First World wars, the Waler Light Horse memorial statue is located in Tamworth's Bicentennial Park and depicts an Australian World War I trooper saying farewell to his Waler horse in the deserts of the Middle East.
Between 1861 and 1931, approximately 500,000 horses were exported from Australia to the Indian Army, the Boer War and Egypt with The Australian Light Horse as remounts. Of these horses, only one returned, a gelding Sandy belonging to Major General Sir William Bridges.
The Trooper’s uniform and the military saddler on the horse are based on original WW1 equipment. Designed and sculpted by a talented artist, Tanya Bartlett of Newcastle, NSW, the bronze memorial was unveiled and dedicated on 29 October 2005 by well-known and respected, retired Army Major General WB Digger James AC, MBE, MC.
The monument is a feature of ANZAC Day ceremonies and other army commemorative services.
