New in Tumbarumba? Start here
Everything a new arrival actually asks in the first month, answered from the 3 businesses, clubs and places we list here. No sponsored entries, nothing paid for.
First, the thing people get wrong
Tumbarumba sits above 600 metres in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains and grows some of the coolest climate wine in NSW. Softwood plantations and the mills below town are the biggest employer, alongside beef and fine wool. The rail trail through to Rosewood was the first of its kind to open in NSW.
Tumbarumba is in New South Wales, postcode 2653, and 6 of the towns people here use day to day are in Victoria. That is why this matters more in Tumbarumba than it does most places: the state a job is done in decides which trade licence applies, which public holiday calendar sets the penalty rate, and which regulator hears a complaint.
If you are hiring anyone, the border check tells you which state's rules apply to an address, and the licence check opens the right register.
The shape of the place
