About Myola
Myola is a coastal locality situated in the City of Shoalhaven local government area of New South Wales, bearing the postcode 2540. Located on the northern shores of Jervis Bay and the Currambene Creek estuary, it is largely surrounded by natural bushland and wetland environments. Demographically, Myola shares the characteristics of the broader Shoalhaven region, featuring a small permanent residential population alongside holiday homes, experiencing seasonal influxes of tourists and visitors.
Locals and visitors rely primarily on the adjacent township of Huskisson—accessible via the iconic Currambene Creek ferry service—for commercial amenities, retail shopping, and dining. Myola itself is predominantly residential and recreational, renowned for its quiet village atmosphere, native wildlife, and proximity to pristine beaches such as Callala Beach. The area offers various outdoor pursuits, including bushwalking, fishing, and boating, while educational and major healthcare services are accessed in nearby regional hubs like Vincentia and Nowra.
Historically, the land around Myola and Jervis Bay is traditional country of the Indigenous Wandi Wandian people, part of the Yuin nation, who maintained a rich cultural connection to the coastal and estuarine resources. European presence in the area grew through nineteenth-century timber-getting, maritime trade, and shipbuilding along Currambene Creek. Over time, the locality transitioned from an industrial and resource-extraction site into the quiet residential and holiday destination it is today.
