Information on Bunyan, 2630

Bunyan is a locality in the Snowy Monaro Region, New South Wales, Australia. It lies on the eastern side of the Murrumbidgee River and on both sides of the Monaro Highway about 110 km south of Canberra and about 10 km north of Cooma. The settlement became known as Bunyan in 1858.

Lying close to Cooma, Bunyan was eclipsed by the growing town, and it is now a very small settlement consisting of a few old buildings and some ruins. The area is predominantly rural.

Travel options

Bunyan's primary travel connection is via the Monaro Highway, which runs directly through the town. This major route provides road access north to Canberra (110km) and south to Cooma (10km). Monaro Highway forms part of the key freight, commuter and recreational route between the Snowy Mountains region and the ACT, making it the main transport corridor for the area.

Being a small rural locality, travel options are limited to private vehicles, with the highway serving as the primary link to larger centers where additional transport services like buses, trains, and flights can be accessed.
