Tallow

Set deep in a valley on the Blackwater Valley Scenic Drive, Tallow is the birthplace of two John Hogans, one a poet (1780-1858) and the other a famous sculptor (1800-1858).

The area was planted with English settlers in the early 17th century.

Above nearby Tallowbridge is Tallow Hill, a superb vantage point presenting panoramic views of the Blackwater Valley on one side and the Bride Valley on the other.
