Windellama (/wɪndəlɑːmə/) is a rural locality in the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia in the Goulburn Mulwaree Council. It is northeast of Canberra and southeast of Goulburn.[2] At the 2021 census, it had a population of 417.[1] Windellama is a popular location for people from Sydney to make a "tree change". This has created a change in property sizes in the area, previously mostly large agricultural enterprises, now on a multitude of 50-100 acre (20-40 ha)hobby farms.[3]

It has a strong community with its own local monthly newspaper the "Windellama News",[4] an active Historical Society, Progress Association, monthly farmer's market, Windellama Public School Parents and Citizens Association and Rural Fire Brigade.[5][6]
