About Bergalia
Bergalia is a small rural locality on the New South Wales South Coast, situated in the Eurobodalla region approximately 25 kilometres north of Bega and 15 kilometres inland from Wallaga Lake. With a very small population and an area of around 24.5 square kilometres, it is a quiet farming and grazing community set among the rolling hills and native bushland of the coastal hinterland. The locality sits at low elevation and is characterised by open paddocks, creek flats, and pockets of eucalyptus forest typical of the South Coast.
Life in Bergalia revolves around the land, with most residents engaged in small-scale farming, hobby farming, or rural residential lifestyles. The nearby town of Cobargo, famous for its arts community and historic village, provides basic services and a vibrant market scene. Residents enjoy close proximity to the Sapphire Coast's beaches and national parks, including Mimosa Rocks National Park, making it a peaceful retreat for those who value nature and rural tranquillity. The tight-knit community reflects the easygoing character of the NSW South Coast.
Bergalia falls under postcode 2537 and is governed by the Eurobodalla Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Gilmore, while state elections fall under the Bega electorate.
