About Myola

Myola is a small coastal locality in the City of Shoalhaven, situated on the north-eastern shore of Jervis Bay in New South Wales. With a population of just 94 residents across approximately 1.1 square kilometres, it sits on the opposite side of Currambene Creek from the popular tourist village of Huskisson, connected by the Husky Ferry rather than a road bridge. The postcode median taxable income of $41,687 reflects the area's relaxed, holiday-oriented character.

Myola offers a uniquely tranquil waterside lifestyle, with direct access to the crystal-clear waters of Jervis Bay and Currambene Creek. The Husky Ferry provides a scenic ten-minute crossing to Huskisson's cafes, restaurants, and shops on weekends, while a caravan park and natural bushland add to the area's holiday appeal. Nowra, the nearest major centre approximately 26 kilometres to the north-west, provides broader services, shopping, and a railway connection at nearby Bomaderry Station.

Myola falls under postcode 2540 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Unclassified (OT) electorate.
