Canberra to Bowral today. Left Canberra at 10.45 bound for Bowral. We devoured morning tea at Goulburn at the par in the middle of town. Goulburn is famous for “The Big Merino” (see photos”) as well as being Aust. First inland “city”. We also visited the historic, Old Goulburn Brewery and picked up some produce.
We then powered the Millennium Pajero back out on to the highway, but took the “tourist drive” through the southern highlands, passing such quaint little towns as Tallong, Wingello, Bundanoon, Moss Vale and Bowral, which of course is the home of “The Don”. This area has some magnificent properties and at this time of the year is starting to turn on its autumn colours.
Strangely enough there were no caravan parks in Bowral, so we moved on to the next town (Mittagong) where once again we found very pleasant overnight accommodation.
The next morning (Fri), we repacked and stored the trailer at the par for the day while we took in the sites of Bowral (read cafés), and then visited the Bradman cricket museum. The oval is again very pretty and the museum is very interesting regardless of whether you are a cricket fan or not.
We left Bowral and picked up the camper at about 4.00 pm and made the 110 km trip into Sydney where we were meeting up with Andy’s brother, Mark and his wife Sarah and his family, Chloe, Jamie, Max and little baby Tia.
Needless to say excitement within the Millennium Pajero was at fever pitch with anticipation.

Yessss Billy & the 5 Chicks. Am loving the site big guy. Just a query though; Very impressed with your visitations thus far, but that Big Merino, is that the one where to enter, one has to climb the stairs via the sheep's bum?
