Yambulla

Yambulla is a locality in the Bega Valley Shire local government area, within the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. There was once a mining village of the same name, now a ghost town. The locality and cadestral parish of Yambulla in the County of Auckland include the site of the old village. The locality is largely forested and is uninhabited. The nearest inhabited place is Towamba. The southern boundary of the locality is part of the New South Wales-Victoria border.

The area now known as Yambulla lies on the traditional land of Bidwell people. It lies in the catchment of Wallagaraugh River, a tributary of Genoa River. Another tributary of Genoa River, Yambulla Creek, despite its name, lies to the west, in the adjacent locality of Nungatta. The name 'Yambulla' also refers to a property in the valley of Yambulla Creek, at Nungatta South, which is notable for its "range of not-for-profit enterprises that will support First Nations Culture, conservation, research, education and knowledge-sharing". The New South Wales cadestral parish of Yambulla, in the County of Auckland, should not be confused with the identically named Victorian cadestral parish of Yambulla, in the County of Dargo.
