Overview

Towamba is a modest settlement in Bega Valley Shire, about a forty‑minute drive west of Eden. At the 2021 census the village recorded 249 residents, many of whom support the surrounding agricultural district. The community has a long‑standing public school on Towamba Street (opened 1862) and a volunteer‑run radio station that provides local news and entertainment. Social life centres on Towamba Hall, a mud‑brick venue beside the Towamba oval, which hosts a variety of events for locals and visitors.

Road access passes over the Towamba River, where an original ford once stood opposite the former police station, now a private home. Although the first bridge was swept away in the 1919 floods, the settlement remains reachable by road, yet severe flooding can still isolate the village. Housing in Towamba consists primarily of rural dwellings scattered around the service centre, reflecting its role as a small hub for the farming community.
