The Boy from Oz actor Todd McKenney leads the charge for a new buyer for the Tenterfield Saddler — now on the market three decades since it last changed hands.
abc.net.au/news/historic-tenterfield-saddler-for-sale-todd-mckenney/102235632Award-winning Australian television and theatre personality Todd McKenney is leading calls for the Tenterfield Saddler, in Northern New South Wales, to remain open for future generations.
"One of the highlights of my life is singing Tenterfield Saddler. I feel very connected to it and, over the years, I've sung it about 3,000 times. I never tire of singing it, and the audience never tires of hearing it.""I think to potentially lose the hard copy, the actual saddlery, would be a crying shame," he said.
"I'm hoping some philanthropist or person who feels the same as I do gets behind it, so it stays in Australian hands and honoured and retained in its current form, and maybe even be developed into something bigger that still honours the building itself and the history of it," McKenney said. "Dad spent 25 years building up this brand and trademark and got it recognised nationally and internationally around the world and partnered with all these big Australian companies over the years. It was quite a ride.
