About Mulloon
Mulloon is a rural locality on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, situated approximately 60 kilometres north-east of Canberra and around 35 kilometres south of Braidwood, within the Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council area. With a 2021 Census population of 129 residents across approximately 105 square kilometres, it is a quiet, thinly settled district of farming properties and bushland. The locality has gained wider recognition through the Mulloon Institute, an organisation based here that leads research and practice in landscape-scale water retention and regenerative land management.
The Mulloon Creek catchment gives the locality its name and character, with rural landholdings focused on grazing, conservation, and sustainable agriculture. Residents typically travel to Braidwood or Bungendore for everyday needs, or to Canberra for major services. The Southern Tablelands setting offers scenic, lightly wooded hills and the cool-temperate climate of the Monaro fringe, attracting landholders committed to sustainable farming and those seeking a rural lifestyle within reasonable distance of the national capital.
Mulloon falls under postcode 2622 and is governed by the Queanbeyan-Palerang Council (Local Government Area). For federal elections, residents vote in the electorate of Hume, while state elections fall under the South Coast electorate.
