Where Are We?

The Wollondilly Region lies to the South of the Sydney metropolitan area in the foothills of the Southern Highlands.
On the borders of the lands of the traditional Gundangurra and Tharawal Aboriginal tribal groups. It was once on the very fringe of European settlement at Sydney. Today it is on the edge of the growing metropolitan area, and the quiet life of its towns and villages is changing as we provide lifestyle opportunities to those who commute into the Sydney basin. Vast areas of the region's rugged landscape are World Heritage Listed and form national parkland or water catchment reserves. This means that the timeless beauty of the Australian bush, so close to Sydney, is preserved and offers a welcome escape from the hectic life of the city. The local vegetation varies according to the particular geology of the area, but the Shire is rich with a large number of plant communities - many of which are significant to the ecology of the Sydney region.
