Oberon is a town and Local Government Area (see Oberon Council) in the central tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. The main industries are farming, forestry and wood products. The town is 1,113 m (3,600 ft) above sea level, and usually has snowfalls in the winter.
From 1923 to 1979 Oberon was served by a branch railway line noted for its very steep 4% gradients and very sharp 100 m radius curves. It is the birthplace of Bob Brown.
