Berrima Village

Step back in time to a town that still breathes the old way of life. Berrima, a quiet sleepy country town in NSW's Southern Highlands is just a skip hop and a smooth drive from Sydney city.

It has everything a small country town needs - just. Bring cash with you if you are arriving early in the morning and make sure your gas tank is full of petrol. There is no Petrol station and no ATM. Well, there is one ATM, in the pub... which doesn't open until 11am. Not to fear though most of the cafes and shops do take EFTPOS - but just in case - bring some cash!

The town is extremely picturesque and if you are a buddy photographer - bring your camera. there are so many angles and textures and colours to capture - you will have a ball.

Make sure you visit the Court House and old gaol. for a small country town it's quiet and impressive building with sandstone pillars framing the front, its hard to miss it.

When you get hungry head to the pub. Its good food at a reasonable price, but if you're after more variety (there are other cafes around that offer amazing food in Berrima) Bowral is only a 20min drive north.
