The Post Office opened on 1 January 1873. After the arrival of the railway this office closed and a Toolamba East office opened near the station, which was renamed Toolamba in 1895.[2]
The railway station of the same name is located on the Goulburn Valley railway line opened in 1880, but was closed to passenger traffic in 1987.[3] The station also serves as a junction with the line to Echuca. Currently the town has a General Store, Primary school (grades prep–6), a kindergarten, town hall and the Junction Hotel as well as a Bed and Breakfast.
Toolamba Primary School is a primary school of approximately 190 students located in the township of Toolamba, on the western side of the Goulburn River.[4] The principal is Heather Kennedy.[5] It includes a kindergarten.[6]
