About Bundewallah
Bundewallah is a small rural locality in the South Coast region of New South Wales, situated near the town of Berry in the Shoalhaven area. With a population of just 34 at the 2021 Census and covering approximately 5.9 square kilometres, it is one of the quieter localities in the Kiama state electorate. The area lies within the federal electorate of Gilmore and is characterised by lush pastures and forested hillsides typical of the Illawarra Escarpment hinterland. The nearby Berry township provides the closest range of services and a vibrant village atmosphere.
Life in Bundewallah revolves around the land and a close-knit community of rural residents. The location between the Illawarra and the South Coast makes it accessible to both the Kiama coast and the berry-growing districts of Shoalhaven. Residents enjoy the natural surroundings, with bushwalking, farm stays, and coastal day trips all within easy reach. The Princes Highway connects the area to Wollongong to the north and Nowra to the south, making it a viable semi-remote retreat for those who work remotely or seek a quieter lifestyle within reach of Sydney.
Bundewallah falls under postcode 2535 and is governed by the Shoalhaven Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Gilmore, while state elections fall under the Kiama electorate.
