Central Tilba
A village of 19th-century timber buildings listed in its entirety on the national heritage register, lined with cheese, leather, wine and craft shops.
Central Tilba lies at the foot of Gulaga Mountain. It preserves timber shopfronts from the dairy boom of the late 19th century, and the whole village is protected as a National Trust heritage area. The short main street has Tilba Dairy cheese tastings, leather goods shops, handmade sweets, galleries and an old-fashioned general store, and a small pub serves simple meals. Just outside the village, Tilba Valley Winery offers wine tastings with lake views. The village is small and can be explored in an hour or two, though it gets busy on weekends and holidays. It is about 17 km from Narooma, a 20-minute drive, with parking at the village entrance.
