==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was home to a punt, allowing sheep, horses and people to cross the Darling River safely, for a fee.〔 The punt has since been replaced by a bridge.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.
