I grew up in Uralla and had a great childhood. It's one of those few places left where kids can still safely ride their bikes around all day and fish for Yabbies in streams. I didn't go to school there - opting for the greater variety in terms of Education that near by Armidale has to offer. (And i think mum liked the 40 minute delay from the time the bell rang to us getting off the bus).

I go back all the time and the only thing that has changed is the number and variety of shops in the main street - which seems to have improved.

I must say though, if Armidale were not there, this little town would not be so thriving. Driving up and back does get irritating, but considering the peace and quiet and distance from junk food outlet, this was and still is a fantastic place to live.
