The mercury didn’t rise above 14 degrees Celsius yesterday, and reached a low of 5C, and the winds gave spectators the shivers.
The Queensland troupe had driven seven hours’ south from the Gold Coast and are accustomed to warmer winters.
Marilyn Sheldon said she wasn’t complaining, as she had driven down in a caravan and stayed a night in frosty Glen Innes, where the temperature dipped to -3C.
Anne McCartney said while she was rugged up against the cold in Tamworth, next week she was destined for sunny Cairns to watch her younger son play rugby.
Today in Tamworth it is expected to be partly cloudy with a minimum of 5C and a maximum of 15C.
Tomorrow will be sunny, peaking at 15C, while Friday will be mostly sunny with a maximum of 18C, though sliding to a low of 1C.
