Pambula, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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".
