Southern Highlands
The Southern Highlands is well known for the graciousness of its welcome to visitors in search of the simple pleasures of life. It sits on a plateau of the Great Dividing Range and is surrounded by areas of pristine wilderness. The altitude and proximity of the Highlands to the coast is a rare mixture in Australia which blesses the area with cool mountain air, a high rainfall and four distinct seasons.
In the high country the air is seldom humid and even midsummer nights are cool. Close to the escarpment, the southerly changes are clearly visible as mist steals in up the cliffs and across the valleys. When in the region, the visitor will be rewarded with visits to the lovely towns of Mittagong, Bowral, Moss Vale, Exeter, Bundanoon, Berrima, Robertson, Burrawang and also the many beautiful properties of the Sutton Forest.
