Nestled at the foot of Gulaga (Mount Dromedary), this picturesque town is renowned for its well-preserved 19th-century architecture and quaint rural atmosphere. The town's origins date back to the 1870s gold rush era, but it was dairy farming that became its mainstay. In 1983, the entire village was classified by the National Trust, cementing its status as a significant heritage site. The main street is lined with historic timber buildings, now housing craft shops, cafes, and boutique stores. Central Tilba is famous for its cheese-making tradition, with the ABC Cheese Factory being a popular attraction. The surrounding countryside, with its rolling green hills and proximity to pristine beaches, adds to the town's appeal. Visitors are drawn to Central Tilba for its blend of history, artisanal products, and natural beauty, making it a quintessential example of Australia's rural heritage. Today, Central Tilba serves as both a living museum of Australian rural life and a thriving tourist destination. Its preservation offers visitors a glimpse into Australia's past while supporting a vibrant community of artisans and small businesses, embodying the enduring charm of country Australia.
