About The Brothers

The Brothers is a small rural locality in the Snowy Monaro region of southern New South Wales, falling within the Snowy Monaro Regional Council local government area. Located in the broad tablelands south of Cooma, the area sits at high elevation within Australia's alpine hinterland and shares postcode 2630 with Cooma and surrounding localities. The landscape is characterised by open grassy plains, granite outcrops and the cold, clear-aired character of the Monaro high country.

The locality has no township of its own; residents rely on the nearby regional centre of Cooma for all services including schools, medical facilities and shopping. The area appeals to farmers, rural landholders and those seeking a quiet highland lifestyle close to the Snowy Mountains ski resorts. Jindabyne and Thredbo are within an hour's drive, making the Monaro tablelands an attractive year-round destination for both permanent residents and visitors.

The Brothers falls under postcode 2630 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Monaro electorate.
