Tilpa

The town is located on the Darling River, in the Central Darling Shire local government area, north west of the state capital, Sydney. At the , Tilpa and the large surrounding area had a population of 159. The town itself is said to have a population of only nine. The Darling River at Tilpa has erratic flows and is often dry in periods of drought. However floods in 1956 saw the Darling River span at its widest, isolating Tilpa for five months.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tilpa )〕 ==History== In its heyday, Tilpa was an important river port with paddle steamers delivering supplies to nearby sheep stations and returning down river laden with bales of wool. The wool was taken to Wentworth—at the confluence of the Darling and Murray Rivers—and then either to Adelaide or to Echuca for passage to the port at Melbourne.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Visit Outback NSW: Tilpa )〕 The town was home to a punt, allowing sheep, horses and people to cross the Darling River safely, for a fee.〔 The punt has since been replaced by a bridge. The photo on the right dates it to after 1963 as that is when the bridge was completed.
