Colo Vale Village

On The NSW Southern Highlands

Only ten minutes from Mittagong and you could be just about anywhere in rural New South Wales without really knowing that your only a relatively short drive from Sydney and a couple of hours from the Nation’s Capital Canberra.

While statistics show a population of about 1200 it’s a reasonably quite village maintaining a relaxed rural atmosphere. The main feature of the town is the refurbished but disused Railway Station and the mixed family businesses. It’s a pleasant place to visit when taking a drive for the day.

The big action happens here on the 4th Saturday of each month with the Colo Vale Community Markets being held in the Community Centre in Railway Avenue. This is when the town’s folk get together for a bit of social interaction otherwise known as a chin wag. All proceeds contribute to the upkeep of the centre and the restored Railway Building which if ever you happen to visit would be very proud of.
