Mount Tilga, a hill located near in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia, was said to be the exact centre of New South Wales.[2] [3] [4]
However, establishing the centre of an irregular shape is not a straightforward matter. Just where the centre of the State lies is open to dispute. According to Geoscience Australia a possible centre for New South Wales is just off Cockies Road, west-north-west of Tottenham, a small town west of Dubbo. This spot, (-32.1633°N 147.0167°W) south of the Fiveways Intersection, is marked by a cairn constructed for Australia's Bicentennial celebrations in 1988.[5]
Mount Tilga is above sea level[1] and it rises sharply out of the plain, approximately north of Condobolin.
