Condong is a small rural locality in the Tweed Valley of far northern New South Wales, situated on the banks of the Tweed River within the Tweed Council local government area. Located approximately 4 kilometres north of Murwillumbah and just 10 kilometres from the Queensland border, the locality covers a compact area of around 3.8 square kilometres with a population of 314 residents. The area is characterised by lush subtropical farmland typical of the Tweed Valley, where sugarcane fields spread across the floodplain alongside the river.
