Tarraganda Real Estate & Design

Tarraganda is considered the North Shore of Bega. Located 2kms outside of Bega it is a picturesque area comprised largely of farming and lifestyle blocks. Homes built on the lifestyle blocks are large and prestigious although smaller, standard size sections and houses exist in the area around the golf course. House design is predominantly brick and tile although in areas of later subdivision rendered houses are popular. Bush blocks have been subdivided along the Reedy Swamp Road and here, houses made from alternative materials can be found.

History

In 1834 the three Imlay brothers arrived in the Bega area and acquired over 65,000 acres of squatters’ land to begin permanent settlement of the region. They, along with their employees, which included assigned convicts, became the area’s Pioneers. The drought and depression in 1844 forced the Walker brothers, the Imlay bankers, to foreclose on the Imlay properties. The Walkers took ‘Kameruka’ near Candelo, leaving George & Alexander Imlay with ‘Tarraganda’. Peter Imlay purchased Tarraganda in 1847 after the death of his brothers. In December 1848 the workforce at Tarraganda was further enlargened when the ship, Bermondsey, disembarked immigrants at Twofold Bay. In the 1850s and 1860s Tarraganda was frequently separated from Bega by the flooding of the Bega River. In 1894 the Tarraganda bridge across the Bega River was completed, and this greatly improved access.
