Book Direct with the Owner at Diprotodon Drive - Tamber Springs in Gunnedah with Accommodation Nelson Bay for all your restaurant and entertainment needs.
Tambar Springs is a small village on the edge of the ancient Warrumbungle Range. Opened up in the early 1830s for grazing, settlement soon followed in 1868. Today it is known for its rich agricultural vistas and rural village charm.
In 1987, local farmer Louise Friss made the rare discovery of bones from an extinct herbivorous marsupial, identified as a 'Diprotodon'.
The amazing find was made on the property 'Kenloi', between Mullaley and Tambar Springs. This particular specimen was dated approximately 33,500 years old, and the skeleton and skull are on permanent display at the Coonabarabran Visitors Information Centre.
