Mount Tilga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mount Tilga ( 33°01′S, 147°08′E) 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.[1], 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.[2] in 1988.
