Bowral

Bowral, in case you've been living under a rock, is where Don Bradman got started. Consequentially, the town is a museum to his life and career.

The oval where the Don played his first matches.

This incorporates an excellent museum (that, for some reason, doesn't let you take piccies) and, if you squint there is a statue of the man himself at the other end of the pond.

Cows. We went off to have a look around a local winery. For some reason.

The grounds are lovely.

There's lots of wine and it's probably very good stuff judging by the snotiness of the staff. (Winery tip 1: The more aloof the staff, the more expensive the wine. Winery tip 2: It all tastes like grapes so get over it. Winery tip 3: Beer is ALWAYS better).

Lot of money has gone into the place.

And there's a proper garden with a fountain - though they would probably call it a 'water feature'.
