About Burrawang
Burrawang is a charming historic village in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, situated 139 kilometres south-west of Sydney in Wingecarribee Shire. Perched at 760 metres above sea level between the Wingecarribee and Fitzroy reservoirs, the village is home to approximately 431 residents. The area forms part of the traditional Country of the Dharawal people and has been shaped by agriculture and pastoralism since European settlement in the early 19th century.
Burrawang retains a quintessential rural village character with historic buildings, rolling green hills and a cool temperate climate that draws weekenders and tree-changers from Sydney. Nearby townships of Robertson and Moss Vale provide essential services, while the village itself supports a small general store and cafe. The area appeals to artists, retirees and those seeking a quieter pace of life amid the stunning Southern Highlands landscape.
Burrawang falls under postcode 2577 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Kiama electorate.
