Humula

Humula is a small country town between Tarcutta and Tumbarumba in New South Wales, Australia. Humula was once named "American Yards" or "American Fields" during the gold rush, where many Chinese came for gold years ago. At the 2016 census, Humula had a population of 124 people. Humula is located at the confluence of Carabost Creek, with Umbango Creek, a tributary of Tarcutta Creek, in the Murrumbigee catchment. Humula Station, which is just outside the town, is one of Australia's most historic farming and grazing properties. Although Humula is a small town, it has its own fire brigade, public school,p and a recreation ground. After surviving many fires including the latest in February 2006, Humula is still in one piece.
