The Tenterfield Saddler was made famous by Peter Allen's tribute to his past, and grandfather George Woolnough in the 'Tenterfield Saddler'. However it is much more than just a song. For 50 years (from 1908 - 1960), this quaint blue-granite saddlery on High Street was a key meeting place in town. Saddler George Woolnough plied his trade, listening, undisturbed by the chatter and opinions of those who wandered in. One famous customer was Banjo Patterson. Lyrics The late George Woolnough Worked on High Street And lived on Manners 52 years he sat on his veranda And made his saddles And if you had questions About sheep or flowers or dogs You just ask the saddler He lived without sin They're building a library for him Time is a traveller Tenterfield saddler turn your head Ride again Jackaroo Think I see kangaroo up ahead The son of George Woolnough Went off and got married And had a war baby But something was wrong And it's easier to drink then go crazy And if there were questions about why The end was so sad Well George had no answers about why a son Ever has need of a gun Time is a traveller Tenterfield saddler turn your head Ride again Jackaroo Think i see kangaroo up ahead The grandson of George Has been all around the world And lives no special place Changed his last name And he married a girl with an interesting face He'd almost forgotten them both Because in this life that he leads There's nowhere for George And his library Or the son with his gun To belong except in this song Time is a traveller Tenterfield saddler turn your head Ride again Jackaroo Think I see kangaroo up ahead Time is a medler Tenterfield saddler make your bed Fly away cookatoo Down on the ground emu up ahead Time is a tale teller Tenterfield saddler turn your head Ride again Jackaroo Think I see kangaroo up ahead. mmortalised by Peter Allen's song, 'Tenterfield Saddler', this living museum is full of leather goods and historic tools.
