About Murrah
Murrah is a small coastal locality in the Bega Valley Shire of New South Wales, situated approximately 10 kilometres north of Bermagui on the Far South Coast. Nestled between the Murrah River and the Pacific Ocean, this lush and tranquil area encompasses some 92 square kilometres of varied terrain including farmland, wetlands, and native bushland. The locality has a very small resident population and is known for its unspoilt natural character.
Murrah draws visitors and nature lovers for its pristine beach, excellent fishing along the Murrah River lagoon, and wildlife-rich surrounds. The area is popular with surfers, kayakers, and bushwalkers seeking a quiet escape from busier coastal towns. The Murrah community hall serves as a local gathering point, and residents rely on nearby Bermagui and Cobargo for shops, schools, and services.
Murrah falls under postcode 2546 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Monaro electorate.
