Kyeamba is a farming community in the central east part of the Riverina and situated about 16 kilometres (9.9 mi) north west of Humula and 23 kilometres (14 mi) south west of Tarcutta.

[1] The town's name is derived from an aboriginal word for "forehead band".

There are no stores or significant public buildings in the area.

Kyamba Telegraph Office opened on 1 September 1861.

[3] Due to being on the boundary between the slopes of the Great Dividing Range and Riverina plain, there is a large seasonal range between maximum temperatures and a pronounced winter rainfall peak.
