Southern Highlands - NSW

Unlike Sydney and the coast, Goulburn is positioned high in the Southern Tablelands at an altitude that experiences the four seasons in all their glory.  Goulburn is 2 hours for Sydney and Tarago is under 2 ½ hours from Sydney. The area is also famous for its parks and gardens, antique shops and craft galleries. A visit to this fertile upland region, just over 100km from Sydney, reveals genteel townships, charming old villages, rolling farmland, and the contrasting rugged wilderness of Morton National Park. The Southern Highlands embracing the towns of Berrima, Bowral, Bundanoon, Fitzroy Falls, Mittagong, Moss Vale, Robertson and Suttons Forest is one and a half hours from Sydney, one and a half hours from Canberra and one hour from Wollongong.
Accommodation in Moss Vale includes motels, guest houses, hotels, country resorts and an exciting working cattle and horse station.  There is also a wide range of restaurants, different types of accommodation and plenty of things to do.  Many of these are in the town of Picton and fortunately, some of them do weddings while others offer great country accommodation for your guests.  The Highlands are a popular year-round destination.
Explore Kangaroo Valley village, classified by the National Trust and home to the Pioneer Museum.  The small township of Kangaroo Valley grew up around the river and when the beautiful sandstone Hampden Bridge was built in 1898, marking the entrance to the town, it opened up the area to visitors and has been attracting them ever since.  Surrounded by the Barrengary Mountains and the Cambewarra Mountains, Kangaroo Valley is believed to be one of only seven fully enclosed valleys in the world.  Drive up to Cambewarra Mountain lookout for the best ocean and valley views.
There is a memorial cricket ground as well as the Bradman museum located within the town and it is a must for cricket lovers who visit the area.  Bushwalking is popular in the area, as is visiting some of the spectacular waterfalls,  including Fitzroy, Belmore and Carrington Falls.  The cooler climate is ideal for the areas magnificent English gardens established in the 1860s when Sydney’s wealthy families built the first weekend estates.  With the Highlands being the newest cool-climate wine producing area of the state with ten cellar doors now open to the public, weddings in the vineyards are a new Highlands invention winning great acclaim.
Bowral is now the commercial and retail centre of the Southern Highlands.  Goulburn is the second oldest city in inland Australia and is the centre of a prosperous farming and pastoral region.
 Mittagong, the gateway to the Southern Highlands, is located 110 kilometres south of Sydney.  Wombeyan Limestone Caves are a winding but spectacular 65klms drive from Mittagong.

Pepper Tree Ridge B and B Picton (Bed & Breakfast accommodation) 

Historic colonial farm house. Pepper Tree Ridge was built in the 1870s by the son of Alexander Berkeley Campbell, one of the pioneers of Stonequarry (Picton). The original house, in late Victorian colonial style with double walls of bricks hand made on the property was the homestead of Inverary, an extensive dairy farm on Razorback. The verandahs, lofty rooms, and beautiful cedar panelled ceiling in the hallway are replicated in the sympathetic addition of an extra wing which makes extensive use of cedar joinery. The name Pepper Tree Ridge comes from the now century old pepper trees which grow around the homestead.
