About Jerrong

Jerrong is a quiet rural locality in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, situated approximately 20 kilometres north-east of Goulburn within the postcode 2580 area. With a population of just 16 at the 2021 Census, it is one of the smallest localities in the region, encompassing around 65 square kilometres of farming and grazing land. The landscape is typified by open paddocks, rolling hills, and the pastoral character that defines this part of southern New South Wales.

Jerrong is a deeply rural community where agriculture — particularly sheep and cattle grazing — forms the backbone of local life. Residents rely almost entirely on nearby Goulburn for services, shopping, healthcare, and schooling, with the Hume Highway making access straightforward. The Southern Tablelands scenery, including nearby waterways and native bush, provides a peaceful backdrop for the handful of families who call this locality home. It attracts those drawn to a quiet, land-based lifestyle well away from urban pressures.
