Tomerong is a village in the South Coast region of New South Wales, Australia.[2][3] It is located approximately 180 kilometres by road south from the state capital Sydney and 20 kilometres south of the commercial centre of the City of Shoalhaven, Nowra in the County of St Vincent. The village is eight kilometres inland of the western shores of Jervis Bay and is located at the boundary of the Parish of Tomerong and the Parish of Wandrawandian.[4] Its population at the 2021 census was 1,194.[1] The traditional custodians of this country are the Wandandian (wandi wandian) people of Yuin Country who spoke the Dhurga language.
With a history of farming and sawmilling, the village and its environs is now primarily low to medium density residential, providing easy access to tourist areas such as Huskisson on Jervis Bay and the commercial centre Nowra. West and south west of the village the land is predominantly State Forests and Crown Land adjoined by the Morton National Park.[5]
