That had me chuckling for a good few seconds.

On the topic of Belgium, I just ate far too much excellent chocolate от там.
You can't say от там.

оттуда - from there

Там is an adverb, от is a preposition. Prepositions can only go with nouns and adjectives.

Здесь - here
Там - there

Сюда - to here
Туда - to there

Отсюда - from here
Оттуда - from there

Куда? - Where to?

Я иду туда - I am going there

You can't use там here because tam is an expression of LOCATION, whereas the sentence is expressing MOTION.

Куда ты идёшь? - Where are you going?
Где ты идёшь? - wroooooooong. Где is location, not motion.
