About Mogareeka

Mogareeka is a tiny coastal locality on the Far South Coast of New South Wales, situated at the mouth of the Bega River where it meets Mogareeka Inlet, just south of the town of Tathra. Covering only 3.5 square kilometres, the locality lies within the Bega Valley Shire and is characterised by a peaceful estuarine environment of tidal flats, wetlands, and bush reserve. With a population of around 67 residents, Mogareeka has the intimate character of a quiet waterfront hamlet popular with fishing and boating enthusiasts.

The locality is home to the historic Tathra Wharf — a 150-year-old timber structure that is one of the few remaining coastal steam-packet wharves in Australia, now heritage-listed and housing a small maritime museum. Tathra township, immediately to the north, provides a beach, cafes, a pub, a small supermarket, and community facilities. Bega, approximately 20 kilometres inland, is the main regional service centre for the valley, offering schools, a hospital, and full retail services. Mogareeka's sheltered inlet and relaxed pace make it a sought-after address for those seeking waterfront lifestyle living on the Sapphire Coast.

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