Bowral is central to a great variety of interesting attractions and pleasant walks in the Southern Highlands with numerous wineries, boutique shops and quaint small villages like Berrima, Burrawang, Bundanoon and Robertson. The recommended scenic drive to see the sub-tropical rain forest at Minnamurra State Forest on the way to Kiama, returning through Berry and Kangaroo Valley, is mesmerising and astonishes visitors, especially our overseas guests.
