Bomaderry, Administrative division in Shoalhaven City Council, Australia.
Bomaderry is an administrative division on the north shore of the Shoalhaven River in New South Wales and functions as a residential and administrative center for the surrounding area. The suburb is defined by a railway station that serves as the terminus of the South Coast line and connects residents to the state rail network.
The area was first opened up by Alexander Berry's road construction in 1858 on Shoalhaven Estate lands. Bomaderry's founding in 1882 marked the start of its development as an administrative and transport center.
The name Bomaderry comes from the local Aboriginal language and refers to where the river meets the water. This connection to the land remains an important part of how the community understands its place in the region.
The railway station serves as the main transport hub and connects residents and visitors to the NSW TrainLink network. The station is easy to reach and provides reliable connections to other communities throughout the region.
The area is home to two registered heritage sites: the Bomaderry Aboriginal Children's Home and the railway station, each preserving important chapters of local history. These locations offer glimpses into different phases of regional development from colonial times to the modern era.
