Bundanoon is a village in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. It has a choice of cafes, craft shops, bakeries and a historic pub. It is located adjacent to the Morton National Park which has opportunities for bushwalking, cycling, and admiring the views over the gullies.

It has a population of around 1000, and is caters well for tourists. The town centre is usually quite busy on a Sunday, with a bit of coffee and craft shop feel.

The town sells itself on having a somewhat Scottish sounding name, despite the fact that the origin of the name is likely derived from the local aboriginal dialect. The town hosts the Brigadoon at Bundanoon festival annually, which attracts around 20,000 people to the village.
