Southern
This region takes in the Southern Highlands and area around Goulburn. It includes the headwaters of the Hawkesbury Nepean near Lake Bathurst and is dominated by the Wollondilly and Wingecarribee River systems.
The Southern region is home to productive grazing and horticultural lands and its rivers provide major water resources for Sydney. An increasing number of new residents are drawn to the rural lifestyle of the region, and further rural residential development is taking place to cater for this demand. Some of Australian's oldest towns are found in the Southern Highlands while Goulburn is known as "the oldest inland city".
