Central Tilba, population 100, is an historic village located on the Eurobodalla Coast in New South Wales, Australia.

Bate Street

The town is classified by the National Trust and is primarily relient on tourism. The imposing Dromedary Hotel provides good pub meals and is an ideal stopping point for a beverage.

There’s old-style accommodation at the hotel, the Two Story Bed & Breakfast, as well as a few other B&Bs in the village.

The ABC Cheese Factory is a must-do with free samples of cheese and honey available. Ice-cream is also one of their specialties.

The Woodturning Gallery has excellent small carved works which make ideal gifts, with more expensive items such as dining furniture, large tables and leadlight lamps also on display.

looking at your beautiful photographs really makes me realise that I’ve just returned from Tokyo! what could be more different?! (there is a bit of sleep deprivation and sushi craving as well!)
Darren Stones replied

Tokyo and Central Tilba would not have much in common, soxy. :) Enjoy your sushi, and sleep.

Great pics Daz…......ah ‘The Drom’......I’ve played a gig or two there over the years. Brings back a million memories.
Darren Stones replied

So your an entertainer, too, Cathy? Bet you saw a few blokes a bit under the weather at the pub. ;)
Adam Spence

Great pics Darren, Tilba really is a picturesque village. It’s a pity that its so often overlooked, so many people I know just drive past it on the way to somewhere.
Darren Stones replied

Thanks Adam. Yep, it’s defintiely worth the slight detour off the main highway. The lolly shop and cake shop is okay, too.
Cathy Middleton

Yep, performed in bands up and down the Far South Coast for fifteen years or so, er so I saw the odd plastered bloke, a couple of scuffles, some flashed boobies and plenty of smashed bottles. Geez, sounds a bit like a blues brothers fiasco doesn’t it. Great times though, and wonderful people.
Darren Stones replied

Nothing wrong with some flashed boobies. It adds to the atmosphere. ;)
Cathy Middleton

Maybe you should do some coverage of the Bombala Bike Show…....there’s always oodles of ‘atmosphere’ there. :)

This looks like a lovely place! The very talented lady who used to do my B&W printing, on PROPER paper, lives here now! I wonder if she knows about RB? Thanks for the memory jog, Darren. Time just seems to get away lately!
