About Mountain Lagoon

Mountain Lagoon is a small rural locality in the City of Hawkesbury local government area of New South Wales, situated north of Bilpin within the greater Blue Mountains region, approximately 71 kilometres north-west of Sydney. The locality takes its name from a unique natural feature — a ridge-top lagoon formed by ancient geological tilting of the plateau — and borders the vast Wollemi National Park. With a 2021 Census population of just 78 residents spread across more than 54 square kilometres, Mountain Lagoon is a remote and sparsely settled community.

The area is defined by its rugged bushland setting, with dense native bush, seasonal wildlife, and the dramatic sandstone escarpments characteristic of the Blue Mountains region. The locality attracts those seeking a deeply rural lifestyle on acreage, often with connections to Bilpin township nearby, which is known for its apple orchards, fruit stalls, and weekend visitors from Sydney. Access to schools, major supermarkets, and other services requires travel to Windsor or Richmond, each approximately 35 kilometres away along Bells Line of Road.

Mountain Lagoon falls under postcode 2758 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hawkesbury electorate.
