About Cadgee
Cadgee is a small rural locality in the Bega Valley Shire local government area of New South Wales, situated in the Far South Coast hinterland approximately 30 kilometres north of Bega. The locality lies within a forested valley in the southern tablelands transition zone, with coordinates placing it in the Brogo River catchment between Cobargo and the Bemboka district, at an elevation typical of the rolling hills that characterise this part of coastal NSW. It falls within postcode 2545 and supports a very small permanent population on agricultural and lifestyle properties.
The Cadgee area is part of the broader Bega Valley district renowned for its rich dairy and beef grazing traditions, tall eucalypt forests, and access to the Wadbilliga National Park wilderness area to the west. The Far South Coast lifestyle — characterised by a mix of established farming families and sea-change residents — defines this quiet hinterland locality. Cobargo (approximately 20 kilometres south) is the nearest historic village, famous for its folk festival and artisan character, while Bega provides the main regional services including a hospital, supermarkets, and high schools.
Cadgee falls under postcode 2545 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Bega electorate.
