Narooma, Administrative division in Eurobodalla Shire Council, Australia.
Narooma is a coastal town on the Tasman Sea in the Eurobodalla region, situated between mountains and seaside landscapes. The town features multiple beaches and natural coves with rocky shorelines and headlands.
The area was originally inhabited by the Yuin people before European settlers arrived in the early 1800s. Formal administration was established in 1913 to organize the growing coastal communities.
The name Narooma comes from the Yuin language and means "clear, fast water." The town's identity is shaped by fishing heritage and local celebrations tied to oyster farming and seafood traditions.
The town is accessible by car via the Princes Highway and has essential amenities including shops, restaurants, and accommodations. Visiting outside summer months offers a quieter experience with fewer crowds.
The area is home to a significant population of koalas living in the eucalyptus forests near town. Many visitors are surprised to spot wild koalas in the trees, especially in less-visited areas.
