Overview
Robertson is a small Southern Highlands town of 2,017 residents (2021 census) set on an elevated plateau at the edge of the Illawarra escarpment. Its high rainfall and fertile soils support lush pastures for beef and dairy, and the area is now famous for potato growing, highlighted by the iconic “Big Potato” sculpture. Historic charm is evident in the former cheese factory, now a row of shops, and the restored Robertson Hotel, a popular venue for events and weddings. Residents enjoy a semi‑rural lifestyle with easy access to green spaces such as Robertson Nature Reserve, Robertson Park and the nearby Natural Park.
Transport links include the Robertson railway station on the Unanderra–Moss Vale line, primarily used for freight but also serving the monthly heritage Cockatoo Run from Sydney. NSW TrainLink buses travel the Illawarra Highway, winding down the Macquarie Pass to connect the Highlands with Wollongong, and a potential upgrade to this link is under community discussion. These routes provide convenient access while preserving the town’s country‑side character.
