It lies 36.7 km south-south-east of Wodonga, VIC (from Wodonga, VIC: bearing 161°T), and is situated 29.6 km east-north-east of Myrtleford.

The air itself carries a clean, crisp scent, a mingling of dry earth and the faint, sweet perfume of unseen blossoms, particularly potent in the late afternoon when the sun begins its slow descent, casting long, languid shadows that stretch and deepen across the terrain. Waterways, mere trickles in drier months, become vital arteries after the rains, their banks often lined with hardy, wind-scoured vegetation, testament to the land's enduring resilience.
The story of Kergunyah South is one of hardy beginnings, with its fortunes historically tied to the rich pastures that have sustained generations of graziers. The rich volcanic soil, a legacy of the region's geological past, has made it a prime location for agriculture, particularly for the cultivation of high-quality produce. While the echoes of earlier pastoral ventures can still be felt in the weathered fences and the broad, open paddocks, the local economy has diversified, embracing the burgeoning appeal of the Alpine Shire as a destination for travellers seeking both natural beauty and a connection to the land. The quiet hum of daily life in Kergunyah South is punctuated by the seasonal rhythms of the farm, a gentle cadence that underpins the character of this enduring place, a place where the past is not forgotten but lives on in the very texture of the land and the steadfast spirit of its people.
