About Wyndham

Wyndham is a small village on the far south coast of New South Wales, located 519 kilometres south of Sydney in the Bega Valley Shire. With a population of 418 — up from 386 in 2016 — it is one of a cluster of quiet communities in the region, neighbouring Bega, Merimbula, Pambula, Candelo, and Bombala. The village is spread across a large area of 129 square kilometres and is notable for its dramatic natural backdrop of Jingera Rock, a sheer granite cliff face that rises above the surrounding countryside.

Wyndham has a warm village atmosphere with a general store that doubles as the post office, service station, and cafe — a true community hub. Residents and visitors enjoy monthly markets at the School of Arts Hall, an annual art show, ballet performances, and wellness services at the Stringy Bark Centre. The local primary school and historic community hall add to the village character. The far south coast setting offers access to the national parks, beaches, and fishing spots of the broader Bega Valley, making Wyndham an appealing retreat for those who value community, creative arts, and the natural environment.
