Description

Famous as the home of Australia's greatest cricketer, the late Sir Donald Bradman, Bowral began as a tiny settlement called Wingecarribee. However, with the advent of the railway, Bowral blossomed into a holiday retreat for wealthy Sydneysiders, leaving behind a legacy of many historical mansions and fine gardens. The annual springtime Tulip Festival is a great time to visit Bowral. As the thriving center of the Southern Highlands, there are numerous places to eat, shop and browse among antiques and crafts. You will also find the Bradman Museum here, which exhibits cricketing memorabilia.
