We first visited here in September to see the Meredith Woolnough embroidery exhibition and were pleasantly surprised by the size of the gallery, the variety and range of works that they had on display (and for purchase) and the beautiful exhibition space, which as the name would suggest, was an original Milk Factory built in the early 1920's. The Gallery's displays included paintings, sculptures, ceramics, jewellery, woodwork etc. When we returned the following month the various main exhibition spaces were showcasing a different lot of works from different local and Australian artists. There is also a good cafe inside the gallery where you can rest and enjoy a drink and a snack whilst looking down on the gallery spaces. Worth a visit.

Started with an antipasto plate and the Shiraz recommended by Philip which ended up being a great choice, then when onto the wine tasting reasonably priced at $10 per head given you chose 10 wines. The difference was Kate who served us her knowledge was exceptional and Philip continued to make sure we were looked after. Would come back again nice wines great atmosphere and the service was good. Would definitely go back.

Bowral District Art Society ( BDAS) is a wonderful Bowral institution. Fiona is amazing, there are constant exhibitions, some categorised by genre ( sculpture coming up), others by solo or group exhibitions. It changes either weekly...Thursday to Tuesday, or fortnightly. Well priced, quality, creative imaginative work. Tourists and locals should avail themselves of this gallery, you won’t be disappointed.

Mary Poppins is one of my most favourite fictional characters. I love her to bits, in whatever language I read or watch her. This holiday the stars have aligned in such a way that on our check out from Sydney hotel I was watching 'Sunrise'. There was segment on two Australian towns competing whose Mary Poppins statue was the best. One of those towns was Bowral. Bowral was on the way for me. So off we went. 1) Bowral is a very nice little town. Great to visit. Very welcoming, green, relaxed. 2) There is Bradman museum in Glebe Park as well. So, men can go left, women and girls can go right. 3) The statue is amazing. For the fans of Mary Poppins this visit would be just what doctor ordered. Must see. Must take millions of photos. Must have a picnic in the park. Enjoy
