Overview

Bombala sits on the Bombala River in the Monaro region, about 485 km south‑southwest of Sydney. At the 2021 Census the wider area had 1,892 residents, with 1,136 in the town centre. The community combines grazing, timber and tourism, and hosts farms that raise meat rabbits, lavender and other herbs. Known as ‘Platypus Country’, the river draws wildlife lovers, while cold winters with frequent frost and occasional snow give the town an alpine character. The annual Bombala Show celebrates local agriculture and craft, and the Bombala Blue Heelers rugby league team adds a strong sporting spirit.

Bombala is served by the Monaro Highway (B23) and Mt Darragh Road, with Merimbula Airport 85 km east for flights; the heritage‑listed railway station remains a landmark after the line closed in 1986. Housing ranges from 150‑year‑old timber homes to newer builds linked to renewable‑energy projects.
