BOWRAL
Bowral is the next of the rich south
highlands towns. Bowral exudes significant wealth and is a rich rural
area. The highlands weather determines a rich green landscape for most
of each. Just like New Zealand.
For
many decades, Bowral was well-known as a rural retreat for the elite
gentry of Sydney. This has left a legacy of many historical estates
and manor houses. Now the town is a bustling and very busy precinct.

As
with area Bowral featured in the early history of Australia and many
heritage buildings to this day are on display.
Today,
Bowral is nationally known as the home of Australian Cricketer Don
Bradman, and the site of his tribute museum Bradman Museum at Bradman
Oval.
       
It
also hosts the annual Tulip Time Festival that is held in the town in
September.
Most
of the Churches in Bowral are historic and 100 year vintage and
preserved.    
The
Anglican Church is a real classic.
The
Bowral War Memorial is a simple but worthy acknowledgement. 
The
Bowral Hotels are a mix of old and new pub offers.  The
Bowral Museum is the Bradman, but there is the
School Museum opposite the Anglican Church also.
Include Bowral in the south highland mix of towns and allow a number
of days to enjoy the region.
