About Mogilla

Mogilla is a small rural locality in the Bega Valley Shire of New South Wales, situated in the hilly grazing country approximately 10 kilometres south-east of Candelo and around 30 kilometres north-west of the regional centre of Bega. Covering just over 51 square kilometres, the locality had a population of around 100 residents at the 2021 Census, reflecting its sparse, farming-community character. The area is typical of the rolling pastoral land of the Bega Valley hinterland, with properties ranging from small acreage blocks to larger grazing holdings.

The surrounding landscape is characterised by green hills, creek flats, and eucalypt bushland typical of the Sapphire Coast hinterland region. Day-to-day services and shopping are accessed in Candelo, a charming heritage village with a general store and cafes, or in Bega, which offers hospitals, supermarkets, and most essential services. The locality suits those seeking a quiet rural lifestyle within a short drive of the coast and larger regional towns, and sits within easy reach of the beautiful beaches and national parks of the Bega Valley and Sapphire Coast.

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