🏞️ Explore the Volcanic Mountains and Coastal Landscapes of Central Tilba

Discover the spectacular volcanic mountains, historic villages and forested landscapes of the New South Wales South Coast with the Central Tilba 8925-3N Topographic Map, sourced from the official NSW Spatial Services Topographic Map Series.

Covering Central Tilba and surrounding country near Narooma, this detailed map provides valuable geographical information for bushwalkers, environmental professionals, rural landowners, surveyors, engineers, conservation managers and emergency services.

The Central Tilba region occupies a distinctive landscape between the Pacific coastline and the foothills of the Great Dividing Range, where the imposing volcanic mountain of Gulaga rises above rolling farmland, wooded valleys and picturesque coastal settlements.

The map provides geographical coverage relevant to Central Tilba, Tilba Tilba, Gulaga National Park, Mount Gulaga and the surrounding coastal hinterland, with Wallaga Lake, Mystery Bay and Bermagui providing important regional context.

The magnificent Gulaga (Mount Dromedary) is the defining geographical landmark of the district.

Rising approximately 806 metres above sea level, Gulaga is the remnant of an ancient volcanic complex whose geological history has shaped the surrounding hills and valleys.

Its forested slopes, rocky formations and elevated ridgelines create a striking contrast with the lower agricultural landscapes surrounding Central Tilba.

Gulaga National Park protects approximately 4,673 hectares of significant native vegetation, including eucalypt forests, sheltered rainforest communities and important mountain habitats.

The mountain holds profound cultural and spiritual significance for the Yuin people, particularly Aboriginal women. The national park was returned to its traditional Aboriginal owners in 2006 and is jointly managed with NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service.

The Gulaga Mountain walking track, beginning near Tilba Tilba, provides an opportunity to explore the mountain's changing vegetation, steep slopes and distinctive geological formations.

Nearby, the historic village of Central Tilba is renowned for its beautifully preserved nineteenth-century streetscape, traditional buildings and connection with the region's dairy-farming heritage.

The neighbouring settlement of Tilba Tilba occupies picturesque countryside beneath Gulaga, surrounded by rolling pastures, wooded hills and rural properties.

To the south, Wallaga Lake forms one of the region's most important coastal waterways. Its estuarine landscape includes wetlands, sheltered shorelines and forested catchments protected in part by Gulaga National Park.

The lake and surrounding country are culturally significant to the Yuin people, with nearby Merriman Island holding particular importance.

To the east, Mystery Bay and the surrounding coastline contain rocky headlands, sandy beaches and distinctive coastal landforms, illustrating the transition from volcanic hinterland to the Pacific Ocean.

The wider landscape includes rural roads, creek systems, dairy properties and forested reserves, making detailed mapping particularly valuable for understanding drainage, land use and access.

At 1:25,000 scale (1cm = 250 metres), the map provides the detail needed to interpret contours, identify waterways, recognise ridgelines and examine roads and tracks throughout this varied landscape.

Whether you're exploring Gulaga National Park, investigating rural property, studying volcanic geology or undertaking professional fieldwork, the Central Tilba topographic map provides an excellent geographical reference.

Professionally printed by Mapworld and available in paper, waterproof DuPont™ Tyvek® and laminated finishes.

The Central Tilba region contains steep mountain slopes, rocky formations, forested walking tracks, rural properties and waterways subject to changing conditions. Heavy rainfall may make mountain tracks slippery, increase creek flows and affect unsealed access roads. Some culturally significant areas within Gulaga National Park have restricted access or specific visitor requirements.
