Wallaroo is a rural locality in New South Wales close to the Australian Capital Territory. It lies north of the Australian Capital Territory border, north west of Hall, west of the Barton Highway, and east of the Murrumbidgee River. The post code is 2618.[2] The median house price was $888,750 in 2009, based on six sales.[2] The cadastral unit in the area is known as Wallaroo Parish.[3] Between 1981-1990, the Serbian Orthodox Church constructed the St. Sava monastery at Wallaroo.
