About Coolangubra

Coolangubra is an uninhabited locality in the Bega Valley Shire of southern New South Wales, nestled in the rugged ranges approximately 60 kilometres north-west of Bega and close to the South East Forest National Park. Covering around 136 square kilometres, the area is almost entirely public land comprising Coolangubra State Forest and adjacent national park, with no recorded permanent residents. The landscape features tall eucalypt forests, native pine plantations, and the headwaters of several rivers draining to the south coast.

Coolangubra is significant for forestry and conservation rather than residential settlement, with Coolangubra State Forest managed by the Forestry Corporation of NSW for both timber production and biodiversity values. The South East Forest National Park, which abuts the locality, protects extensive stands of old-growth forest and supports a rich array of native wildlife including threatened species. Bushwalkers, naturalists, and four-wheel-drive enthusiasts occasionally venture into the area via unsealed forest roads accessed from Bombala or the Monaro Tablelands.

Coolangubra falls under postcode 2550 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Monaro electorate.
