About pambula

Pambula is located 473 km south of Sydney via the Princes Highway on the far south coast of New South Wales , Australia in Bega Valley Shire.

Pambula is an historic village with its first European settlers thought to have been the Imlay brothers in the 1830s . In the late 19th century , gold was discovered at nearby Yowaka River and this created something of a boon in the town. By the early 20th century, production of gold had ceased and the prosperity of the town went into a decline.

Pambula is derived from the Dharwa name for the area, pronounced "panboola'", meaning "place of one water hole".
