From the Editor September You will be amazed and delighted at the colourful displays of thousands of tulip bulbs blooming for the annual Tulip Time Festival during the coming months. The Southern Highlands celebrates Tulip Time with a host of activities and there is so much to do this month, your feet will barely touch the ground. North of the Southern Highlands is the historic town of Camden. During September, it celebrates all that is wonderful about the area with a festival that runs for two weeks. Entertainment, kids fun and a street fair are some of what is on offer at this rich and diverse festival. The annual Goulburn Lilac Festival is one for the diary; lots of fun, music, dance, food and activities will make this a must attend festival. In the midst of this festival season in the Highlands, Robertson will offer its Open Gardens event in October and hold its annual Spring Fair in September. These events will surely

Macarthur

www.highlandsimag.com.au

Camden, Narellan, Campbelltown Macarthur - the best of both worlds! Where can you find a vibrant city with modern delights, enjoy the tranquillity of nature reserves and historic charm, but also revel in adrenalin packed activities. Macarthur is less than an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive south-west of Sydney and includes the cities of Campbelltown and historic Camden. Throughout the region, the history of colonial settlement is reflected in the large number of heritage listed buildings; Camden Park House and Macarthur Park are fine examples of 19C architecture prevelent in the area. The Macarthur district played a significant role in the birth of the Australian Wool, Wine and Wheat industries. History books tell us that John Macarthur was responsible for our success as producers of fine Merino Wool, but historical records show that Elizabeth Macarthur, his wife, played a larger role than he did. John & Elizabeth Macarthur established convict built Belgenny Farm on part of the original 5000 acres granted to the family by Lord Camden in 1805. Today, Belgenny Farm is a major educational centre with direct links to our agricultural history. It offers specialised educational and environmental tours, giving young people and special interest groups a chance to learn about agriculture and its history in NSW. Macarthur is rich in history but also in art & culture. There is a diverse range of cultural venues including

a number of small boutique art galleries such as Struggletown Fine Arts Complex. Campbelltown Arts Centre and the Campbelltown Entertainment and Exhibition Centre are the entertainment heart of Macarthur. Macarthur is bordered by scenic hills, nature reserves and the Georges and Nepean Rivers. The beauty of the nature reserves and wildlife trails will surprise and delight with spectacular flowing streams, rock escarpments and native flora and fauna. For a superb day out, visit one of Macarthur's most interesting attractions; Australian Botanic Gardens, Mount Annan offers a lovely family day out in the midst of 416 hectares of Australian bushland. The facility includes picnic areas, a restaurant, over 10 kilometres of walking tracks and a native flora research facility and NSW Seedbank.

Historic Berrima

Berrima & Moss Vale

www.highlandsimag.com.au

Bundanoon Berrima - a shoppers paradise Berrima is a unique, historic village offering a day tripper the most wonderful array of food and shopping experiences in a living history environment. Established as a township in 1831, Berrima is a preserved Australian, Georgian, colonial town. It is located in a picturesque valley on a bend of the Wingecarribee River. The town was laid out in the manner of an English village around a village green. The centre of the village today is a living museum, with many of the original buildings, including the gaol, still providing a unique atmosphere within the town. Today, Berrima is a favourite day trip destination for Sydneysiders and Illawarra and Canberra residents. It offers exquisite boutique shopping, antiques and great food. Moss Vale, the Shire Capital Moss Vale is the gateway to the Hume Highway and the Illawarra and is central to Southern Highland townships and villages and to Highland attractions. 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. Leighton Gardens, in the centre of town, is as pretty as a picture in spring and autumn with massed displays of flowers and shrubs.

18 www.monthlyimag.com.au

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.

2013 Tulip Time, Bowral - ‘Brighter Futures’ Corbett Gardens

24 September – 7 October As one of Australia’s oldest and best loved flower festivals, Tulip Time continues to grow as the region’s largest event, expanding into towns and villages across the Shire. Still the centrepiece of Tulip Time, Bowral’s Corbett Gardens will again be massplanted with over 60,000 tulips and 25,000 annuals with an additional 40,000 tulips planted in Winifred West Park, Mittagong and Leighton Gardens, Moss Vale. This year CanTeen Australia and Kollege of Knowledge Kommittee for Kids Inc. (4K's), will be Tulip Time’s joint charity partners, whilst celebrating its 53rd year as one of Australia’s leading flora events, and one of the only remaining Charity Based flora festivals in NSW. The partnership allows these charities to broaden their reach and message, whilst also being a valuable fundraising event, with funds raised by the charities going directly back to the local Wingecarribee community to fund much needed initiatives. We’re also proud to announce Kathryn Robinson as our 2013 Tulip Time Ambassador. Kathryn has spent the past 12 years working as a journalist; reporter, producer and presenter with

her current role as host of Meet the Press. Kathryn will be working closely with the Tulip Time Committee and charity partners to introduce and ensure that this year’s festival delivers to its theme of ‘Brighter Futures’. The Festival runs for 14 days throughout the Southern Highlands. An exciting program of events and activities are planned and will be underpinned with the key message of ‘Brighter Futures’ coupled with the central color theme of red which will adorn the streets, businesses and gardens during this year’s festival. There will be a changing program of events including live entertainment in Corbett Gardens, Street Fair, Tulips After Dark and classic favourite, Tulip Time Street Parade. Special events on the calendar this year include Rugby 7’s Tournament, ‘Battle of the Bangers’ sausage cook-off held within the town/village pubs and the ‘King of Koffee’ competition. Also open for the duration of Tulip Time are some of Australia’s premiere private gardens showing the spring blooms at their most spectacular.

The rolling hills of Robertson

Robertson Robertson is a pretty rural village with breath-taking scenery, spectacular waterfalls and rainforests in nearby National Parks. Lush surrounding farmland and country lanes complete the picture for this 'not to be missed' visitor friendly village, which lies at the edge of the Southern Highlands. In Robertson, you’ll find cosy cafes and restaurants, antiques and collectables, galleries with regular exhibitions, and a heritage railway station. Many shops specialize in goods that are both hand - made and Australian. The building known as ‘The Cheese Factory’ is a ‘must see’ in Robertson as it now houses a collection of shops offering, cheese, gifts, craft, collectables and a cafe. The village is worth visiting both for itself, and as an ideal base to explore a spectacular hinterland, it is recognized as the “green heart” of the

www.highlandsimag.com.au

Southern Highlands on account of its superb rural scenery. Ridge roads with sweeping views contrast with sheltered tree-clad lanes, making this a delightful place for a scenic drive. There is much to discover. Stud cattle, sheep and alpacas graze green pastures. Rich, deep, red soils grow the legendary “Robbo Spuds” - Australia’s most sought-after potatoes. Nearby are three of the longest drop waterfalls in Australia. They all plunge from rugged sandstone escarpments into rainforest canyons and valleys. Barren Grounds nature reserve has wonderful wild flowers and easy plateau walks to coastal views. 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.
