About Curraweela

Curraweela is a small rural locality in the Goulburn Mulwaree Council area of New South Wales, situated in the Southern Tablelands approximately 18 kilometres east of the city of Goulburn. The locality sits within postcode 2580 in the elevated pastoral landscape between the Federal Highway and the Great Dividing Range foothills, at an elevation typical of the surrounding Tableland at around 700–750 metres above sea level. The area supports a small agricultural community on the open sheep and cattle grazing country characteristic of this part of the Lachlan Tablelands.

Curraweela's pastoral character — rolling open grassland and dry sclerophyll woodland — is typical of the broader Goulburn district, one of New South Wales' oldest and most historic grazing regions. Goulburn, the nearest significant centre, is the main hub for services including hospitals, schools, and shopping, and is itself a heritage city notable as Australia's first inland city. The Mulwaree River and its tributaries run through the broader district, supporting stock grazing and occasional cropping, while the cool Southern Tablelands climate and quiet rural lifestyle attract those seeking acreage living within a two-hour drive of Sydney.

Curraweela falls under postcode 2580 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Monaro electorate.
