1977 Listed in Annual Report as Receiving Office of Casino.

1977 Frank Maundrell sent in the attached photos which were given to him by his friend, John Pollock, whose father was Manager at Casino, I believe, during the 1970's. 
As a child, John can remember accompanying his father occasionally on Branch visits to Tabulam. 
The old Branch building burnt down in 1977 and John's father took these photos of the aftermath.

2019 The other one is of the site as it now is, with a modern home thereon.  Frank Maundrell

Tambaroora
1872
A small gold mining town 3 km NE of Hill End and about 45Km NE of Orange on Tamboora Creek about 16Km from the Macquarie River (Current Accounts July 1959 & 1968)
1872 Opened (48th Report);
1872 wood engraving of Clarke Street by Samual Calvert from State Library of Victoria.
1873 withdrawn (50th Report)
Geoff Chapman advises: "At the time of withdrawal of Bank representation, the town appeared to be growing as The Western Advocate & Mudgee Guardian of 24/2/1863 reported the sale, by the Crown, of 36 town allotments.  Tambaroora was the larger of the 2 settlements of Hill End and Tambaroora By the early 1860's it has a population of some 2000. By comparison Hill End (Known as Bald Hill until 1862) had only a few hundred residents However by the end of 1872 Hill End had overtaken Tambaroora as the major settlement with over 8,000 residents, a brewery, 27 pubs and 5 banks.  This makes it seem feasible that bank's businesses were consolidated at Hill End in 1873".

1874 In course of erection (51st Report); In 1873/74 a two storied building was erected containing banking chamber and residence which cost 2872 pounds. The architect was a Mr Hilly and the builder M Burke. (Advised by NAB Archivist Bernard McGrath).  Photo of single storey premises from NAB archives must have been taken between 1869 and 1874 as the Bank's name appears boldly on the windows.

1889 additions by Mansfield Brothers including 2 storey residential extensions, at rear separate building, fuel shed, man's room and washhouse; lean-to store and pantry off dining room.

Heritage Listed: 
The neo-classical style of the building makes it an imposing local landmark.

c.1972 when John Beer was relieving Manager Woodenbong, Divisional Mgr Cecil B Waddy called to Woodenbong & stayed overnight in Woodenbong Hotel.
So this seems to prove if he was Div Mgr for Tamworth at the same time Northern Div included Tamworth & Tweed Heads unlike what NW Region  was that extended from Tamworth to Bourke?
It seems Cecil B took over from D W McClymont  Northern Div Mgr who was farewelled 1972 at
Jesmond by Managers including Tamworth & Newcastle West where D W McClymont went
to Manager Sydney Office
