About Reidsdale
Reidsdale is a small rural locality on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, located approximately 22 kilometres south of Braidwood and around 68 kilometres south-east of the Canberra CBD. The locality covers 68 square kilometres and recorded a 2021 Census population of 121 residents across 45 dwellings, reflecting its quiet, low-density rural character. It sits within the federal electorate of Hume and the state electorate of South Coast.
The surrounding landscape is defined by open pastoral country and eucalypt woodland typical of the Southern Tablelands, with Braidwood serving as the nearest service town for shopping, a school, and community facilities. The area is a comfortable drive to both Canberra and the NSW South Coast, making it appealing to those seeking a semi-remote rural lifestyle within reach of larger centres. There are no public transport connections, and a private vehicle is essential for daily life.
Reidsdale falls under postcode 2622 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the South Coast electorate.
