Tarilta is a small locality in Victoria's Shire of Hepburn and Shire of Mount Alexander, Australia, with a population of 26. Established in 1864, it was originally known as Kangaroo Flat, emerging after the 1853 gold discovery near the junction of Kangaroo Creek and the Loddon River. The name "Tarilta" is believed to derive from a Djadjawurrung word meaning "kangaroo." Historically, Tarilta was a gold-mining town featuring alluvial and quartz operations, with three quartz-crushing mills, three horse-puddling machines, and two hotels. Its elevated location was accessible only by horse-drawn dray or horseback, including via the Cobb and Co mail service.
