In the Southern Highlands each of the four seasons has its own flavour; crisp winters, followed by blooming springs, warm summers and colour-filled autumns. Each season boasts its own unique activities, such as theatre, concerts, market days, fairs, art exhibitions, open gardens, festivals and sporting events.

For nature lovers, or anyone who enjoys the simple pleasures, you are on the doorstep of some of New South Wales’s most spectacular scenery. Bush-clad ranges and green rolling hills, mountain streams and highland lakes provide a beautiful backdrop for hikes, fly fishing and horse riding, or more leisurely pursuits such as strolls, picnics and photography. Not to forget the many other charming towns and villages within easy reach of Bowral – or that the city is just over an hour away.
