Central Tilba


I learnt about Tilba from blog friends so added it to my list of places to visit one day.  This was the day.  It is an historic town with its streetscape of Victorian timber buildings preserved.  Its heyday was during the gold era, then moving onto dairy and today is a quaint tourist town. The diary industry lives on in delicious Tilba Cheese but it is Tilba in brand only, after takeover by an international food giant it is now made in a factory in Melbourne!

    It is a shame about the small cheese makers getting taken over all over the country. Wine growers/makers too. Sounds a nice little town. More photos please.

Larras Lee

We passed through Bakers Swamp without noticing anything.  Then reached our last dot on the map for this trip - Larras Lee and saw this.  The roadside monument says: In Memory of  WILLIAM LEE  (1794 - 1870)  of "Larras Lake"  a pioneer of the sheep  and cattle industry  and first member for  Roxburgh under responsible  government (1856 - 1859).  This stone was erected  by his descendants.  --- 1938 --- This is a repost from a few days ago. Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well. A few years later he was granted a ram and an inc...
