Mount Tilga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mount Tilga () is a hill 329 metres high which rises sharply out of the plain eight kilometres north of Condobolin.
Mount Tilga is said to be the exact centre of New South Wales., but establishing the centre of an irregular shape is not a straightforward matter. Just where the centre of the State lies is open to dispute.
According to Geoscience Australia, which has investigated the issue, a possible centre for New South Wales is just off Cockies Road, 33 km west-north-west of Tottenham, a small town 110 kilometres west of Dubbo. This spot, south of the Fiveways Intersection, is marked by a cairn constructed for Australia's Bicentennial celebrations. in 1988.
