About Razorback
Razorback is a rural locality situated within the Wollondilly Shire in New South Wales, approximately 70 kilometres southwest of Sydney. Geographically, it is dominated by the prominent Razorback Range, a steep ridge that serves as a significant topographical feature separating the Camden and Wollondilly districts. The area is characterized by its hilly terrain and pastoral landscapes. Demographically, the locality maintains a low population density, with residents primarily residing on large rural properties or hobby farms.
The local lifestyle is defined by its quiet, semi-rural environment and primary industry activity, including agriculture and grazing. Amenities within Razorback itself are minimal, as the community relies on the nearby townships of Picton and Camden for essential services, education, and retail. Historically, the area is best known for the Razorback Range road, which historically served as a critical, albeit treacherous, transport link between Sydney and the Southern Highlands. The locality gained national notoriety in 1979 during the Razorback blockade, a significant event in Australian industrial history where independent truck drivers blockaded the road to protest fuel prices and operating conditions.
