Tambar Springs is a small rural village with a big heart and even bigger residents of ancient times - the 'Diprotodon". The mountain and township share a nook in the beautiful and ancient Warrumbungle Range, which delivers some of the best high country scenery in Australia. The Tambar springs area was opened up in the 1830's for grazing, with settlement of the village area commencing in 1868. The village was proclaimed in 1888. Today, it is known for its rich agricultural vistas and is bursting with rural village charm and pride.

Tambar Springs has the first memorial to World War I servicemen erected in country Australia. Of the 92 soldiers whose names are etched on the memorial, 14 were killed in action. Well positioned in the heart of the village in Memorial Park, the memorial serves as a testament to those who served for our country.
