Alpine is a small village in the beautiful Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia. It's part of the Wingecarribee Shire. You can find it north-east of Aylmerton and south of Yerrinbool.

A major train track, the Main Southern Line, goes right through Alpine. Also, the important Hume Highway runs along its western edge. An older road, the Old South Road, cuts through the middle. This road separates the farming areas from a big, forested region called the Upper Nepean Catchment Area.
