Overview

Robertson sits on the edge of the Illawarra escarpment about 35 km from the coast, enjoying high annual rainfall and fertile soils that support lush pastures and a thriving potato industry – home to the iconic Big Potato. With a population of 2,017 (2021 Census), the town blends historic charm, such as the former cheese factory now housing shops and the heritage Robertson Hotel, with community events like the Robertson Show, the Great Australian Potato Race and a spring garden festival. Nearby Robertson Nature Reserve and several parks provide easy outdoor recreation.

Transport links include the Robertson railway station on the Unanderra–Moss Vale line, primarily used for freight but visited monthly by the heritage Cockatoo Run, while NSW TrainLink buses travel the Illawarra Highway through Macquarie Pass, connecting the Southern Highlands with Wollongong. The surrounding rural fire brigade and heritage listings such as Wingecarribee Swamp add to the town’s character.
