Welcome to Wyndham
Wyndham village is a small rural hamlet on Mount Darragh Road, in the Bega Valley Shire; 25 minutes inland from Pambula and 40 minutes from Bombala, situated in a pocket of farmland at the foot of the Monaro escarpment, with an altitude of 300 metres. The 25km section of winding mountain road, up to the 900 metre summit of Mount Darragh to the west, is a favourite of motorbike enthusiasts.
