About Kangaloon

Kangaloon is a small rural locality nestled in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, around 10 kilometres south of Robertson and roughly 120 kilometres south-west of Sydney. With a population of approximately 206 residents across 34 square kilometres, it forms part of the lush escarpment country that defines the Wollondilly area.

The nearby town of Robertson — famous for its 'Big Potato' and local produce — provides basic amenities, while Moss Vale and Bowral offer more comprehensive shopping, dining, and schools. The region is popular with tree-changers and retirees seeking tranquility within reasonable distance of Sydney. The Southern Highlands landscape, with its cool climate and scenic beauty, attracts visitors and lifestyle seekers alike.
