About Far Meadow

It falls within the City of Shoalhaven local government area and had a population of around 209 at the 2021 Census. The locality occupies 13 square kilometres of hilly hinterland and farmland between the Illawarra Escarpment and the coast, offering scenic rural landscapes and a quiet, semi-isolated setting.

Far Meadow attracts residents seeking a genuine rural lifestyle within a few hours of Sydney, with hobby farms, acreage properties and bushland providing a strong sense of escape. The nearby towns of Berry and Kiama offer boutique shopping, restaurants and community events, while Nowra to the south provides a full range of services and employment. The locality is popular with artists, tree-changers and farming families. With limited public transport, car ownership is essential, and the Pacific Highway and Princes Highway provide the main road connections to the broader Shoalhaven region.
