Highlands Merchant

Support a local cafe Highlands Merchant who locally source fresh ingredients for ever evolving weekly menu, featuring sumptuous dishes like baked apple and granola crumble with whey caramel, yoghurt and fruit or pickled pepper and Parmesan corn bread with seared lime and fried egg. A cafe takes resident in a county cottage with a Scandinavian twist, take an insta-worthy snap with the colourful flower mural outside, then laze alfresco with an All Press espresso in hand.

Tulip Time Festival

Bowral’s Tulip Time Festival is the best place to get those instagram worthy photos!

The huge array of tulips, live music entertainment and market stalls make it one of the liveliest towns in the Southern Highlands during September. 

What has grown into Australia's most successful gardening event all started in 1929, with Ada Corbett's persistence to have a recreation resort and garden for everyone to enjoy. Bowral had their first "Festival of Flowers" in 1958.
