Picton is a small town in the Macarthur Region of
New South Wales, Australia, in the Wollondilly
Shire, on the south-western edge of Sydney.
Picton is located 80 kilometres south-west of
Sydney, close to Camden and Campbelltown. It is
also the administrative centre of Wollondilly Shire.
An historic rural town, Picton is now rapidly
becoming part of Greater Sydney.
The Hume Highway bypass meant Picton became
a quiet centre of considerable historic interest at
the centre of a dairying and mixed farming area
until developers moved in and started subdividing
land on the edge of town. It is now the furthest
extreme of Greater Sydney.
