So much to explore in the Southern NSW region
The majestic Snowy Mountains, the sparkling Sapphire Coast, the verdant Yass Valley, the Outstanding Dividing Range and the Southern Tablelands – all highlight the unique area that is the Southern NSW region.
You'll find a thriving beef and dairy industry that began in the ****s in Bega, the cheese capital of Australia.
In Goulburn, the Big Merino is a symbol of the 200-year-old local wool industry.
Follow the oyster trail from Bermagui to Wonboyn; fish, surf and kayak in Bateman's Bay; spot platypus in Bombala; see the remnants of early pioneer life in Delegate; marvel at the Snowy Hydro dams in Cooma and Khancoban; visit the Mogo Zoo; ski, mountain bike or hike in Kosciuszko National Park; and pan for gold or pick some cherries in Young.
Resident wildlife includes kangaroos, wallabies, possums, bandicoots, sea eagles, parrots, lyrebirds and wombats.
The area is home to more than 200,000 residents, including four large Aboriginal nations: Gundungurra, Ngunnawal, Ngarigo and Yuin.
The population is expected to keep growing, with the fastest-growing age group being aged 65 and over.
Affordable housing, wide-open spaces, plenty to do and see, arts and cult ural events, and a rich history are what attract people to become residents of the area.

Where you'll be working - Queanbeyan




Queanbeyan is located on the Queanbeyan River 289 km south-west of Sydney via Hume and Federal Highways.
It is 15 km south-east of Canberra.
Queanbeyan is a city which seems to have a split personality.
It is located on the Queanbeyan River less than 15 km from Canberra and consequently it has the identity of a commuter belt town for the Australian capital while also being a service centre for the surrounding agricultural and pastoral industries.
Located at an elevation of 576 metres on the highest edge of the Monaro Plains it can be bitterly cold in winter and hot and dry in summer.
The area is known for its sheep, cattle, wool, nurseries, honey, wine, hay and barley.
It likes to think of itself as a city with a country atmosphere and certainly, when compared to nearby Canberra, it has a languid rural feeling with just the right level of city amenities.
