Merricumbene is a locality in the Eurobodalla Shire, New South Wales, Australia.

[4] The area now known as Merricumbene lies on the traditional lands of Yuin people.

[5] The National Museum of Australia has a breastplate made by settlers, around 1845, for "Timothy, Chief of Merricumbene".

[13] A later dredge commenced operation in the river, in December 1912,[14] but it was overturned by floodwater in June 1913.

[16] In its early days, Merricumbene's only road connection—such as it was—was via Araluen; from 1858, there was a pack-horse route to the coastal plain at Moruya.
