Tooma lies cradled by the rugged slopes of the Upper Murray, where the land rises in a series of verdant hills and deep gullies, cloaked in the deep greens of eucalypt forests. It lies 104.7 km east of Wodonga, VIC (from Wodonga, VIC: bearing 80°T), and is situated 25.7 km south of Tumbarumba. The air here carries the crisp scent of pine and damp earth, a refreshing balm after traversing the drier plains. The Tooma River, a ribbon of cool, clear water, carves its way through the landscape, its banks fringed with willows and ferns, a constant murmur in the quietude. It’s a place where the sky seems wider, the silence more profound, and the shadows lengthen across the valley floor with a painterly grace.
The history of Tooma is deeply entwined with the land and the river that sustains it. Once a vital route for drovers and travellers traversing the high country, its early economy was shaped by grazing and timber. Today, while those traditions linger, the fertile river flats are ideal for prime cattle production, and the surrounding hills offer a haven for campers and anglers drawn to the pristine waters of the Tooma River and its tributaries. The local character is one of quiet resilience, a community that understands the rhythms of the seasons and the enduring strength of the bush. The subtle beauty of the landscape, particularly the way the late afternoon sun ignites the colours of the hills, speaks to a timeless connection between the people and this remarkable corner of the Snowy Valleys.
