Tangambalanga

Tangambalanga is a rural township of about 450 people in north-east Victoria just east of the Kiewa River, 20 km south-east of Wodonga. It was named after the Tangambalanga pastoral run (1838-39), and it is thought that the name was derived from an Aboriginal word referring to a large freshwater crustacean, the Murray River or white clawed lobster. Its maximum length, excluding the claws, is 40 cm.
