Southern Highlands Tour
5
This easily accessible area to the
south of Sydney is often said to be
more typical of Great Britain, than
Australia. It is actually a delightful
combination of both: Australian
high country and coastal hinterland with many
European qualities. It is a land of abrupt hills
and valleys, waterfalls and streams; of quaint
villages, cosy restaurants, antique shops and
elegant places to stay. The tour takes in spectac-
ular Seven Mile Beach and the pretty town of
Berry before heading to Kangaroo Valley, sleepy
Bundanoon and the antique shops and newly
emerging wineries of Berrima and Bowral. An
exhilarating adjunct to the tour is nearby Minna-
murra Falls with its boardwalk through rainforest.
