About Curramore
Curramore is a rural locality situated in the Illawarra region of New South Wales, within the Kiama municipal area (postcode 2533). Geographically, the area is characterized by undulating topography, elevated pastures, and remnant pockets of native vegetation typical of the hinterland behind the South Coast. Due to its strictly rural zoning and expansive landholdings, Curramore has a very small population and a low population density, functioning primarily as an agricultural and pastoral district.
As a predominantly farming and rural-residential community, Curramore contains no commercial town center or major public amenities. Residents rely on nearby settlements such as Jamberoo, Kiama, and Robertson for retail, education, healthcare, and community services. The local lifestyle is defined by agricultural pursuits—predominantly dairy and beef cattle farming—as well as acreage living, with an emphasis on environmental conservation and rural privacy.
Historically, the locality is part of the traditional lands of the Wodi Wodi people, an Aboriginal language group of the Dharawal nation. Following European settlement in the 19th century, the area was cleared for timber and developed for agriculture, benefiting from the fertile volcanic soils of the Illawarra escarpment foothills. Today, Curramore retains its historic rural character, with few modern developments altering its pastoral landscape.
