About Tangambalanga

Tangambalanga is a small rural locality in the Kiewa Valley of north-east Victoria, situated approximately 35 kilometres south of Wodonga within the Alpine Shire council area. Spanning more than 30 square kilometres of undulating pastoral land along the Kiewa River corridor, the locality has a population of around 908 residents and a dispersed character typical of the high country farming fringe. With a median household income of around $50,900, Tangambalanga is home to a stable community of dairy and mixed farming families alongside lifestyle and hobby farm residents.

Tangambalanga appeals strongly to those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle immersed in beautiful north-east Victorian landscapes, within reasonable reach of the Albury–Wodonga urban area.
