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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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

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

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
