Caringbah South is a suburb, in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Caringbah is located 25 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of Sutherland Shire.
History
Caringbah is an Aboriginal word for "a pademelon wallaby". The suburb was originally called Highfield, but it is unclear whether this was a position description or whether it was named after an early resident. Caringbah was used from 1911, after the steam trams began operating between Cronulla and Sutherland.

Thomas Holt (1811-88) owned most of the land that stretched from Sutherland to Cronulla in the 1860s. Most of the area around Miranda and Caringbah was used for market gardening from the 1880s. Caringbah was still used for orchards and farming until after World War II.

Caringbah South was once part of Caringbah but was declared a separate suburb in 2008. [http://www.gnb.nsw.gov.au/name_search/extract?id=MnqwXtKmuj Geographical Naming Board]
