Black Range rises from the undulating green folds of the Bega Valley Shire, a place where the air often carries the faint, sweet scent of damp earth and burgeoning pasture. It lies 221.4 km south of Goulburn, NSW (from Goulburn, NSW: bearing 177°T), and is situated 5.2 km south of Bega. The land here is a patchwork of rich, volcanic soil, a deep, fertile brown that contrasts with the vibrant emerald of the grazing paddocks. Hills, rounded and softened by the passage of seasons, roll towards the horizon, their slopes often dusted with the silvery-grey of eucalypt bark. In the mornings, a pearly mist often cloaks the lower valleys, burning off to reveal a landscape bathed in a crisp, clear light that seems to polish the very leaves of the trees.
The history of Black Range is a story of hard work and resilience, deeply entwined with the bounty of the land. For generations, it has been a centre for dairy farming, the rich pastures supporting herds that provide the milk for local creameries. Evidence of this pastoral heritage can still be seen in the sturdy, weathered farmhouses and stone walls that punctuate the countryside. While mining interests once explored the mineral potential of the region, it is the enduring strength of agriculture that has truly shaped the character and economy of Black Range, fostering a quiet self-sufficiency and a strong connection to the cycles of nature.
