Bowral is best known as the home town of 'the boy from Bowral', cricketing legend Sir Donald Bradman. Adoration of Bradman is evident throughout the town with tours, a sporting ground and a museum. An up-market tourist town and the commercial centre of the Southern Highlands, Bowral's close proximity to Sydney meant that it was a popular retreat for the wealthy. This is still evident today in the magnificent mansions and gardens around town.
