Overview

Nestled beside the Towamba River in Bega Valley Shire, Towamba is a quiet village of 249 residents (2021 Census) located about forty minutes west of Eden. Established in the 1840s‑1850s after Benjamin Boyd opened the area to European settlement, the town serves as a small service centre for surrounding farms and retains a strong sense of rural heritage.

The community is anchored by a public school that has operated since 1862 on Towamba Street, a mud‑brick Towamba Hall with an adjoining oval, and a volunteer‑run local radio station. Historic sites include a former general‑store building now used as a residence and a village cemetery. While the original ford and a bridge once linked the town, flooding on the river can isolate Towamba, shaping a resilient housing mix of long‑standing homes and adapted historic structures.
