Troy Cassar-Daley gives Qantas staff at Tamworth airport shout out after losing guitars between Melbourne and Sydney

The industry icon took to Twitter this week to document the journey of his lost guitars as he touched down in the country music capital without them.

Mr Cassar-Daley had landed in Tamworth for the country music festival but was tracking his guitars with an AirTag as they got lost on the journey from Melbourne to Sydney, taking an unplanned stop near Canberra.

With gigs and media appearances locked in, the star told his 15,000 followers he was starting to worry he may not be able to perform.

"I need them first thing tomorrow," he said on Monday night.

In seconds, Tamworth MP Kevin Anderson had offered his help and Qantas replied to say they were on the job.

But not to fear, Lachie, a Qantas groundcrew employee at the Tamworth airport, was there to save the day.

Later that night, Mr Cassar-Daley said his guitars had safely made it to Tamworth and gave a personal shout out to the airport employee for his help.

"This is the tale of two guitars travelling without their owner by themselves and have just landed in Tamworth," Mr Cassar-Daley said.

"Thanks to Lachie and the Qantas Tamworth groundcrew."

Amazed by the efforts of Lachie and the team, Mr Cassar-Daley uploaded a video to Twitter late on Monday night when he was reunited with his guitar.

Rocking a Paul Kelly t-shirt and Grinch pyjama pants, he gave another shout out to the staff at Tamworth airport.

"I want to say thank you for going to so much trouble and tracking this old girl down," he said in the video.

"It means a lot to have her back in my hands and to get to work tomorrow in the 'big T'."

The real star of the show, Lachie, was contacted by ACM for comment.

But not everyone has had the same luck as Mr Cassar-Daley.
