Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market

The first white explorers sited the land that was to become the first inland city from Mt Towrang in 1798 but it was not explored until some 20 years later Governor Macquarie declared it the Goulburn plains in 1820 Land seekers settled the area from 1818 onwards
By 1841 Goulburn had a population of some 1200 people - a courthouse police barracks churches hospital post office and was the centre of a great sheep and farming area It became an administrative centre for the district taking in surrounding townships for the new
County Argyle

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

The first white explorers sited the land that was to become the first inland city from Mt Towrang in 1798 but it was not explored until some 20 years later Governor Macquarie declared it the Goulburn plains in 1820 Land seekers settled the area from 1818 onwards
By 1841 Goulburn had a population of some 1200 people - a courthouse police barracks churches hospital post office and was the centre of a great sheep and farming area It became an administrative centre for the district taking in surrounding townships for the new
County Argyle
Today it is home to the Big Merino and the NSW Police Academy and its secondary industry is based on a mix of private and Government enterprise In the private sector firms are engaged in wool scouring cotton products footwear heavy and light engineering building related undertakings retail distribution and concrete products

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW
By the 1960s the preservation of old Georgian buildings became of national importance to our heritage so the entire village of Berrima was declared a historic

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW
By the 1960s the preservation of old Georgian buildings became of national importance to our heritage so the entire village of Berrima was declared a historic

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW
By the 1960s the preservation of old Georgian buildings became of national importance to our heritage so the entire village of Berrima was declared a historic

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market

The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW
By the 1960s the preservation of old Georgian buildings became of national importance to our heritage so the entire village of Berrima was declared a historic

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

The city is rich in heritage and natural beauty and any visitor interested in the history and development of this beautiful city will be delighted during guided and self guided tours of historic sites homesteads cathedrals cemeteries and points of interest
The first white explorers sited the land that was to become the first inland city from Mt Towrang in 1798 but it was not explored until some 20 years later Governor Macquarie declared it the Goulburn plains in 1820 Land seekers settled the area from 1818 onwards
By 1841 Goulburn had a population of some 1200 people - a courthouse police barracks churches hospital post office and was the centre of a great sheep and farming area It became an administrative centre for the district taking in surrounding townships for the new
County Argyle
Today it is home to the Big Merino and the NSW Police Academy and its secondary industry is based on a mix of private and Government enterprise In the private sector firms are engaged in wool scouring cotton products footwear heavy and light engineering building related undertakings retail distribution and concrete products
Goulburn Historic Waterworks is located on the banks of the Wollondilly River It has fully operational steam engines the 1883 Appleby Bros beam engine and the 1860s Hick Hargreaves corliss valve engine The beam engine dates to the 1880s when it was installed to pump water for Goulburn

Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW
By the 1960s the preservation of old Georgian buildings became of national importance to our heritage so the entire village of Berrima was declared a historic

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

A City Rich in Heritage Goulburn is a thriving rural and commercial centre and offers country style living and fine hospitality
The city is rich in heritage and natural beauty and any visitor interested in the history and development of this beautiful city will be delighted during guided and self guided tours of historic sites homesteads cathedrals cemeteries and points of interest
The first white explorers sited the land that was to become the first inland city from Mt Towrang in 1798 but it was not explored until some 20 years later Governor Macquarie declared it the Goulburn plains in 1820 Land seekers settled the area from 1818 onwards
By 1841 Goulburn had a population of some 1200 people - a courthouse police barracks churches hospital post office and was the centre of a great sheep and farming area It became an administrative centre for the district taking in surrounding townships for the new
County Argyle
Today it is home to the Big Merino and the NSW Police Academy and its secondary industry is based on a mix of private and Government enterprise In the private sector firms are engaged in wool scouring cotton products footwear heavy and light engineering building related undertakings retail distribution and concrete products
Goulburn Historic Waterworks is located on the banks of the Wollondilly River It has fully operational steam engines the 1883 Appleby Bros beam engine and the 1860s Hick Hargreaves corliss valve engine The beam engine dates to the 1880s when it was installed to pump water for Goulburn
The Waterworks is of national significance as it is the only complete workable steam powered municipal water supply left in its original location in the Southern Hemisphere There is a cafeacute on site as well as picnic areas and playgrounds

Moss Vale
Moss Vale the Shire Capital Moss Vale is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions and only a short drive away
The town retains an atmosphere and charm of yesteryear due to an effort to preserve and restore old public buildings and private homes
Some buildings date to the 1860s - 1890s the Old Post Office The Moss Vale Hotel Court House and the historic Railway Station are fine examples of the 19C architecture
The Moss Vale area was once occupied by the Gundangara people though they had disappeared by the 1870s partly due to the loss of their hunting land to European settlers
Moss Vale holds a large part of the Southern Highlands Industry - as well as being a minor centre for agriculture many light and medium industries are found in and around Moss Vale
Leighton Gardens in the centre of town is a lsquomust visitrsquo with displays of flowers and shrubs in Spring and Autumn
Bundanoon a place of deep gullies Early industries in the district included timber milling sandstone quarrying and farming Today Bundanoon retains many of its early 20C buildings and has a yesteryear charm about it
Bundanoon has its share of interesting craft shops art galleries cafes restaurants nurseries and picnic areas
You can hire a bike walk through nearby Morton National Park enjoy picnic spots native flowers and birds and see kangaroos and wallabies at dusk on the edge of town
Take a walk to Glow Worm Glen and discover how the Glow Worms live and glow Bundanoon is a bushwalkers paradise with fourteen suggested walks most have vantage points with spectacular views across the valleys Probably the most visited lookout is the one overlooking the Grand Canyon 3km from the town centre

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

The first white explorers sited the land that was to become the first inland city from Mt Towrang in 1798 but it was not explored until some 20 years later Governor Macquarie declared it the Goulburn plains in 1820 Land seekers settled the area from 1818 onwards
By 1841 Goulburn had a population of some 1200 people - a courthouse police barracks churches hospital post office and was the centre of a great sheep and farming area It became an administrative centre for the district taking in surrounding townships for the new
County Argyle
Today it is home to the Big Merino and the NSW Police Academy and its secondary industry is based on a mix of private and Government enterprise In the private sector firms are engaged in wool scouring cotton products footwear heavy and light engineering building related undertakings retail distribution and concrete products

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

A unique visitor destination Today Berrima is a historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment It is a favourite destination for Sydneysiders Illawarra and Canberra residents
In the 19thC Berrima was destined to become the main town of the Southern Highlands but when the railway line was built through Moss Vale in the 1860s it faded to a sleepy village At that time the Berrima gaol still held rogue bushrangers
The first Europeans to investigate the area were sent by the colonial governor

Governor Hunter With a water supply provided by the nearby Wingecarribee River a town plan in the manner of an English village was laid out by Robert HoddleFew substantial houses were built although by the 1850s sturdy Anglican and Catholic churches replaced the original wattle and daub versions Licensed since 1834 the Surveyor-General Inn in the centre of town is the longest licensed hotel in NSW
By the 1960s the preservation of old Georgian buildings became of national importance to our heritage so the entire village of Berrima was declared a historic

The Courthouse Museum and Berrima Gaol are two impressive sandstone buildings which every visitor must see Until a few years ago the gaol was still used as a prison but perhaps Berrimarsquos most interesting period was when it became an internment camp for enemy aliens and POWs during WW1
Berrima is said to be a word from the language of the Dharawal people meaning lsquoBlack Swanrsquo The Dharawal were displaced in the area by farming and grazing interests and were rarely seen by the 1870s

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular

The first white explorers sited the land that was to become the first inland city from Mt Towrang in 1798 but it was not explored until some 20 years later Governor Macquarie declared it the Goulburn plains in 1820 Land seekers settled the area from 1818 onwards
By 1841 Goulburn had a population of some 1200 people - a courthouse police barracks churches hospital post office and was the centre of a great sheep and farming area It became an administrative centre for the district taking in surrounding townships for the new
County Argyle
Today it is home to the Big Merino and the NSW Police Academy and its secondary industry is based on a mix of private and Government enterprise In the private sector firms are engaged in wool scouring cotton products footwear heavy and light engineering building related undertakings retail distribution and concrete products
Goulburn Historic Waterworks is located on the banks of the Wollondilly River It has fully operational steam engines the 1883 Appleby Bros beam engine and the 1860s Hick Hargreaves corliss valve engine The beam engine dates to the 1880s when it was installed to pump water for Goulburn

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

By 1841 Goulburn had a population of some 1200 people - a courthouse police barracks churches hospital post office and was the centre of a great sheep and farming area It became an administrative centre for the district taking in surrounding townships for the new

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries

RobertsonRobertson is the lushest of the Southern Highlands landscapes and is renowned for its rich volcanic soil in which potatoes are grown for the NSW market
Potatoes were the first crops planted in Robertson when a large parcel of land was cleared in the mid 19C It could be said that this was due to the prevalence of landholders with an Irish background
Robertsonrsquos development followed the usual pattern of rural towns with churches cricket and football teams schools school of arts and agricultural societies
Macquarie Pass linking the Highlands to the coast was such a brilliant spectacle that Robertson soon became the eastern gateway to the Highlands Local businessmen eager to capitalise on the townrsquos potential brought the attractions of the area to general attention the waterfalls gorges and lush countryside
The village is worth visiting both for itself and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular
hinterland it is recognized as the ldquogreen heartrdquo of the Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery The building known as lsquoThe Cheese Factoryrsquo is a lsquomust seersquo in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering cheese gifts craft collectables and a cafe
The Illawarra Fly turns exploring the cliff tops into a great adventure with treetop walkways a soaring tower and sweeping coastal vistas from Port Kembla to Kiama
Robertson is a great place to use as a base when exploring the Highlands close to national parks and half way between the coast and plains The town is within easy reach of the surrounding towns of Berrima Bowral Bundanoon Fitzroy Falls Mittagong Moss Vale and Sutton Forest all great places to wander stop for something to eat and browse through the unique little shops and galleries
