A growing town that melds heritage with new urban development, The Oaks offers a welcome rest point along a scenic drive through the Shire.
Originally called "The Private Village of Vanderville" by the owner, Emmeline Ann Susannah Wild, the property was given the name "The Oaks" in 1810 by George Caley, Government Botanist, after dominant She Oaks and River Oaks in the forests.
The name Belimbla Park goes back to the 1940s when an area between The Oaks and Oakdale was selected for a plantation of a particular type of eucalyptus, native to the Belimbla Creek near Tumut.
