Balmoral, New South Wales (Southern Highlands)

Balmoral is a Northern Village of the Southern Highlands area of New South Wales, Australia.

Balmoral Village lies on the western side of Wilson Drive. The main street is Station Street. The village has no Post Office or shops. It has a well-maintained Village Hall, including a children's play area, and a tennis court. The village also has a NSW Rural Fire Service brigade.

Balmoral was formerly a station on the alignment of the Main South Railway Line, and was known variously as 'Big Hill Lower Siding' (1878), 'Bargo' (1881), and 'Balmoral' (1888). On the NSW Government Railways Secretariat map, the locality was identified as Balmoral Private Village.^[1] In 1919, the Picton-Mittagong Deviation was opened. The Loop Line continued to operate until 1978, and is now disused.

The town is now served on weekdays by the Bowral to Picton (Loop Line - via Thirlmere) Bus Line that runs to the towns served by the old Main South (now the Picton Loop) railway alignment, between Mittagong and Picton. There are six services a day on this route. There is no accommodation here. There is also a school that was built in 1893.
