Braidwood is a small town in New South Wales, Australia.
Braidwood is located about 200 kilometers south west of Sydney and about 60 kilometers inland from the coast. It is located in a highland area near the headwaters of the Shoalhaven River. The main activities in the region are raising sheep and cattle, and formerly some mining and forestry activities. The area was first settled by European colonists in the 1840s.
A former gold-rush town, its colonial look attracts visitors. Braidwood is the seat of the Tallaganda local government area, subject to proposed restructuring of local government areas by the New South Wales Government.
Braidwood is located on the King's Highway linking Canberra to Batemans Bay on the coast.
