Towamba

Towamba is a small community, not far from Eden in the state of New South Wales in south eastern Australia.

Along with settlements such as Burragate, Pericoe, Rocky Hall and Kiah, Towamba was one of the settlements established after Benjamin Boyd began to open up the area to European settlement in the 1840s and 1850s.

The small community has been served by four schools, the Towamba Public School (I) (between 1 Nov 1862 and 28 Feb 1863), the Towamba Half-Time School (with Cochranes Flat) (between 1 Apr 1870 and 30 Jun 1875), the Towamba Provisional School (one month only in 1882) and more recently, Towamba Public School (currently located in Towamba Street).
