Mulloon lies generally to the south of the Kings Highway between Bungendore and Braidwood on both sides of Mulloon Creek, a tributary of Reedy Creek, which flows into the Shoalhaven River. The high ground along the western edge of the Mulloon Creek catchment is part of the Great Dividing Range.

Mullooon had a public school from 1872 to 1886, which operated "half-time". It was called Ingledow School until 1886.[4]

In recent years, Mulloon Creek has become well known, as the location of projects to revive this watercourse and the eroded and degraded land within its catchment.[5]
