Tangambalanga, Victoria
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tangambalanga is a small town in north-eastern Victoria, Australia. It is located approximately 20 kilometres south-east of the regional centre of Wodonga, in the Kiewa Valley. The residential district located near the intersection with the Kiewa Valley Highway is known as "Kiewa", with Tamgambalanga proper beginning on the other side of the small valley flood plain. The town has a population of 406 persons (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2001 census).
Situated in the rolling hills of the valley, the town exists around the dairy and cheese factory of the Murray-Goulburn dairy cooperative, which processes milk for the fresh milk market, as well as butter and cheese. The waste from the plant, unfortunately, often raises a considerable stench, which has on occasion resulted in prosecutions for the plant [1].
The town also contains a primary school, the Kiewa Valley Primary School, a general store, and a pub. Most shopping is done in Albury-Wodonga, and many residents commute to the larger centre for work.
