Bredbo is a small rural village in the southern tablelands of New South Wales, located along the Monaro Highway approximately 50 kilometres south of Canberra and 40 kilometres north of Cooma.

The village sits at an elevation of approximately 800 metres in the high country between the Australian Alps and the national capital.
Despite its small size, Bredbo is well-known as a stop along the Monaro Highway, with a traditional country pub, a small general store, and a strong community spirit. The surrounding landscape is characterised by open grassy tablelands, ideal for merino wool and cattle farming. Residents enjoy a peaceful, semi-isolated rural lifestyle with easy day-trip access to both Canberra and the Snowy Mountains, including ski fields in winter.
