The Southern Highlands is a cluster of historic country towns on the Southern Tablelands, around 90 minutes south-west of Sydney via the Hume Highway, and around 2 hours from Canberra. It’s a region with cool-climate gardens, Georgian sandstone streetscapes, excellent dining, cool-climate wineries, and some beautiful natural scenery in Morton National Park.
The region covers five main towns – Bowral, Berrima, Mittagong, Moss Vale, and Bundanoon – all within about 30 minutes of each other, which makes a multi-town weekend entirely doable.
