Braidwood, Administrative division in New South Wales, Australia.
Located in the Southern Tablelands, Braidwood functions as a central point between Canberra and the New South Wales South Coast, spanning across varied landscapes.
Established in 1839 and named after Dr Thomas Braidwood Wilson, the town experienced rapid growth during the 1851 gold discovery in nearby fields.
The National Trust registration and State Heritage listing acknowledge Braidwood's colonial architecture, which appears in multiple Australian cinema productions.
The town connects to Sydney through a three-hour drive and to Canberra within one hour, offering various lodging options and local transportation services.
Braidwood farmers produce black truffles and sell them at the bi-monthly market alongside other regional products and gourmet specialties.
