Happy farmer sitting in a truck in a grassy field

Cabins near Bowral guide

Overview

The biggest town in the Southern Highlands, Bowral is a popular place for Sydneysiders to visit for weekend getaways or Sunday drives. Just 90 minutes south of the Harbour City, the town is brimming with art galleries and boutiques, all while serving as a jumping-off point into the Highlands.

Where to go

Mt. Gibraltar Reserve

The highest point between Sydney and Canberra, Mt. Gibraltar is believed to have been formed by a collapsed volcanic core which pushed through the sandstone 150 million years ago. The reserve has seven walks to suit all levels, ranging from short treks from the car park to longer circuits with steep tracks. One of the best is the 25-minute The Rim, which takes you to lookouts on the western side of the reserve.

When to go

Temperatures in the Southern Highlands are mild, so it’s not too hot to visit in summer. At an average temperature of 19°C, January is the hottest month. July is the coldest, with temperatures averaging 7°C, making it a great time to sit in front of an open fire. There are regular farmers’ markets and events, such as the Tulip Time Festival, held from late September until early October.

Know before you go

Bowral is about 1.5 hours’ drive south of Sydney. You can also catch the train from the city to Bowral on the Southern Highlands Line.
There are three supermarkets in town to stock up on supplies: Coles, Woolworths, and ALDI. For camping-specific gear, try Botanex or Field and Stream.
