BUNDANOON
Bundanoon is a bit of surprise packet.
The town is clearly a progressive community demonstrated by being the
first town in Australia to ban the sale of Bottled Water within the
precinct. This conservation action made headlines around the world.
Bundanoon is also a pretty and tidy
town that draws the visitor to stay perhaps longer than first
intended. There is certain friendliness about the place.
The town became a well-known tourist destination
early in the 20th century; its picturesqueness and the exquisite
scenery. By the 1950s, however, changes in lifestyle, particularly the
affordability of the motor vehicle, gave city dwellers more options,
and Bundanoon declined.
Bundanoon is now an affordable haven within
commuting distance of the City.
Bundanoon is known for its annual Garden Ramble,
and for its Brigadoon Festival, which attracts tourists from around
the world.
All denominations are represented at Bundanoon. The
Anglican
and United
Churches being over 100 years old.
The Bundanoon Hotel is a grand affair and still
offers the accommodation of decades past. The hotel is located on the
northern side of the railway. 
The Bundanoon War Memorial is located in the
township.
A worthy acknowledgement to the fallen.
As previously stated a great small town and
community.
