Berida Hotel
6 David Street, Bowral - P 02 4861 1177
Berida Junior Red Cross Home was established by the Junior Red Cross in Bowral in 1950. The house had previously been a Red Cross convalescent home for servicewomen and servicemen. Berida was a school for special purposes that appears to have provided temporary care to school-aged girls whose families were experiencing illness, childbirth or crisis. Berida Junior Red Cross Home closed in 1974.

Berida had been donated to the Red Cross in 1941 by Dr Jessie Freeman as a servicement's convalescent home, but was used for servicewomen until Dr Freeman and a group of local women insisted it be returned to its original purpose.

It is not clear exactly when Berida was converted to a Junior Red Cross Home but in May 1951 it became a NSW Department of Education School for Special Purposes. This indicates that the school was a residential school that had a special programme addressing psychological, behavourial and other difficulties. Accounts from former residents suggest that Berida was a girls' home for girls aged under 13 that provided temporary care when families needed respite or child care during crises such as illness, childbirth or discord.

The building of the railway changed the nature of the towns of the Southern Highlands. It gave local producers access to the Sydney markets and opened up the area to tourism. Built in 1870, the main (southbound) platform building is the oldest, with the northbound building added in 1890. The buildings are in excellent condition and look much like they did in the late 1800s.

Milton Park
Horderns Road, Bowral - P 02 4861 8100
The Hordern 'boys', dashing, handsome, fun-loving and exceedingly rich, with a shared passion for grand motor cars, aeroplanes, polo and stock breeding, were to have the most significant impact on the Southern Highlands.
In 1910 Anthony Hordern III, bought Mansfield's Farm, a 1200 acre property, changed its name to Milton Park after taking a cursory glance at his bookshelf and seeing the word Milton on the spine of a copy of Paradise Lost, and immediately commenced to plant and shelter belts of cypress and pine to protect his Estate from the prevelent westerly winds.
Anthony Hordern was 21 when he bought the Estate. Previously described by gossip columnists as Sydney's most eligible bachelor with an annual income in 1910 of 'not less than 50,000 pounds a year. He married Viola Bingham shortly before buying Milton Park. He retained Morrow and De Purton of Sydney, the family's favoured architects, to design his home. Their work for the Horderns included Retford Park, Hopewood, Babworth House in Darling Point and various extensions to Anthony Hordern and Sons Department Store.
The resultant Milton Park Homestead reveals European Villa influences with an eclectic mixture of both French and Federation detailing.
In 1960 Milton Park was acquired by King Ranch of Texas and for the next 16 years was the headquarters of the company's introduction of Quarter Horses & Santa Gertrudis cattle to Australia. National records were established at the famous Milton Park Stock auctions that were held annually.
From 1976 until 1984, Mary Hordern's daughter, Edwina Baillieu, and her husband Peter, lived at Milton Park and continued the immaculate maintenance of the grounds. However, by 1984 the viability of the Estate as an agricultural holding, with its Homestead, Carriage House, Stables, Cottages, Gardens and farm buildings became questionable. 
So in 1984 the conversion of Milton Park to a country house hotel began when Doctors Ron White & John Cooper purchased the Estate and initiated an ambitious development program. Today the Estate remains a grand country house hotel.

Mount Gibraltar
Oxley Drive, Bowral
Mt Gibraltar, or 'The Gib' as it is affectionately known, overlooks Bowral from the north and has a strong association with the traditional owners of the land, the Gundungurra people. In 1885 quarrying of its unique rock, known as trachyte, commenced and by the 1890s there were several companies operating quarries. Trachyte, has been used for kerbing, memorials and building locally, in other parts of Australia and overseas including the National Library in Canberra, the Cape Byron Lighthouse and Australia House in London. Local pressure led to the closure of the last quarry in 1980 and the land was incorporated into the Mount Gibraltar Reserve. The quarries complex on The Gib was listed on the State Heritage Register in 2013.

(The Calverley’s had been running the refreshment rooms on the corner of Railway Ave.)  Osborne’s store was originally a weatherboard building and had presumably been rebuilt.  It became known as Calverley’s “Bundanoon Emporium”. 
Around that time, the Emporium was a brick and stone building standing on a site of over two acres. (It wasn’t until much later that the Railway Avenue streetscape became a continuous street of shops.)  There was a veranda to the footpath with white painted picket fencing on either side.  At some time during his tenure, probably quite early, Mr Calverley altered the front of the shop to the way it looks now, adding a more prominent veranda to cover the footpath.

Bundanoon Hotel
6-18 Erith Street, Bundanoon
The present hotel was built in 1922 and the licence transferred from the old site on 17 November 1922. Miss Ella Tyler whose family owned and operated the original hotel, was the first licensee of the present hotel.
The previous building occupied the area now in the middle of the junction of Erith Street and Ellsmore Road. This hotel originally known as the "Commercial" was built soon after the railway line came through in 1868 and was officially licenced in 1884. There is a stone in the Carvery of the present hotel with the date "1869" carved on it. It is thought that rather than ever being part of the original hotel it actually came from the Station Master's cottage or gatehouse demolished many years ago possibly when the second railway line was built. There is a similar stone in the gable of the Moss Vale Station Master's cottage. The orginial hotel boasted "good accommodation for visitors at twenty-five shillings per week" and one of its more interesting sidelines was hiring out horses and sulkies.
The new Royal Hotel was built to capture the growing tourism population attracted by the health giving qualities of the mountain air, the spring water and the proximity bush walks and gullies. Bundanoon has been described as possibly being Australia's first resort and at one stage having around 40 guesthouses.

The stone commemorates the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II on 2 June 1953. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth II as monarch of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the Union of South Africa, Pakistan, and Ceylon took place on 2 June 1953. Elizabeth ascended the throne at the age of 25, upon the death of her father, King George VI, on 6 February 1952, and was proclaimed Queen by her various privy and executive councils shortly afterwards. The coronation took place more than a year later because of the tradition that holding such a festival is inappropriate during the period of mourning that follows the death of a monarch.

Bundanoon Railway Precinct
Railway Avenue, Bundanoon
Also known as Jordan's Crossing & Jordan's Siding
Bundanoon Railway Precinct is of state significance as a station complex in NSW that demonstrates the key elements of a late 19th Century and early 20th Century rural station group. The station buildings, signal box, goods shed, WC shed and other related items form an aesthetically significant and mostly intact railway precinct that reflects two major periods of development at the site; the expansion of the station in the late 19th Century to accomodate the growing demands of the small vilage and holiday travellers; and, also duplication of the line in 1915. The place has significance as a rare grouping of extant timber buildings including the non-standard goods shed which is the only known one of its type in NSW. The two standard 'A-type' station buildings and the signal box are good examples of standard weatherboard railway buildings introduced throughout the network during the Federation period. The location of the railway precinct as a major intersection in the village of Bundanoon demonstrates its close historical connection with the establishment of the town in th e1860s, and the railway precinct continues to be an important visual element in the historic townscape of Bundanoon.

Wingecarribee River Viaduct
Wingecarribee River, Burradoo
During 1867 the proposed railway became a reality when the Great Southern Railway was extended from Mittagong through the Bowral/Burradoo area. The line crossed by viaduct over the Wingecarribee River near Bong Bong and rose into a farmland valley from where it later had to traverse steeper inclines further south.
As the steam engines would need to take on water and bunker (load) coal at this point, a supply stop was necessary. Thus it was decided to establish a rail hub in this quiet valley in the area already gazetted for a town.

Burrawang General Store
11 Hoddle Street, Burrawang - P 02 4886 4496
The Burrawang General Store is located on what was orginally a 9.5 acre lot purchased by Michael John Egan in 1868 from a local land owner John Staggs whose father had purchased approximately 200 acres in the 1850s. Egan was a publican and storekeeper whose Inn, the Prince Alfred, was licenced in 1868. There was also a store and post office located with the Inn site.
In May 1871, Egan sold the 9.5 acres to Leonard Dobbin Barrett. At this point, the site was underdeveloped. Leonard with his brother, William were the pioneer developers of the village of Burrawang as it was largely located on private land. By July 1871, the brothers had erected a general store and secured a lucrative postal agency business. The brothers bought a further 40 acres of Staggs land in 1882.
In late 1875, William Barrett lobbied for the building of a public school in the vicinity of the store. Over the period 1875 to 1876, the government agreed to build two schools for the districts, Burrawang and Burrawang East. Burrawang Public School opened in 1878 and is still operating today.
In 1883, the Barretts sold a plot of land in Hoddle Street to the English, Scottish and Australian Chartered Bank who then opened a branch. This was the same year as the Odd Fellows Hall was erected on Hoddle St. In 1884, the Barrett’s bought out the proprietor of the Burrawang Herald (commenced in 1883) and they erected a printing office on Hoddle St.
The Barretts subdivided their land in June 1884 and was sold from 1886 and named the Township of Burrawang. Fronting Hoddle St, the sale included Lot 1, the Club Hotel, the School of Arts and Barrett Brothers Stores. On Lot 2, was the Post and Telegraph Offices and the General Store site.
Lot 2 was sold in 1889 to William Reeves, Burrawang and the Barrett brothers moved to Bowral and opened a General Store there.

Exeter Railway Station
Moss Vale Road, Exeter
Exeter Railway Station Group is of state significance as a highly intact small station complex in NSW that demonstrates the key elements of a late 19th and early 20th Century rural station group. The station has aesthetic values for its rare collection of timber platform buildings including the two skillion-roofed station buildings and two-storey signal box which are located within an established landscape setting. The gardens are of exceptional significance as one of the best extant examples at a country location of a railway garden, a common feature which was once found at most station complexes. The station, located in the centre of Exeter, has historical associations with the original Badgery family land owners who established a railway siding on the site in 1878. The station was instrumental in the development of the surrounding area following subdivision in the 1890s and remains as a local landmark that contributes to the historic townscape.

A seven metre high 37 tonne concrete sculpture Human Endeavour was erected at Hill Top, as a gift to all and a tribute to the men who toiled over a century ago to cut - the Big Hill Cutting.
The Picton-Mittagong line was originally built in 1867 to extend the Main Southern Line. The line originally ran westwards from Picton Station, over the Picton Viaduct, across the Great South Road, thence through a 592 foot (180m) tunnel in the Redbank Range and turned southwest.
Stations were constructed at Thirlmere (1885), Couridjah (1867), Buxton (1893), Hill Top (1878), Colo Vale (1883) and Braemar, 1867. There were a number of smaller stops ('halts'), sidings and passing loops along the line, as well. North of Hill Top, the cutting through Bill Hill was for many years the deepest in Australia. During construction in 1863 an explosion killed three workers whose names are carved in perpetuity in the rockface.

Mt Gibraltar Lookout
Oxley Drive, Mittagong/Bowral
Mount Gibraltar Quarries are significant as purpose built quarries that were used consistently for 100 years of quarrying, from 1886 to 1986. Today there are six distinct quarrying locations regarded as being historically significant. The trachyte quarried there is unique and provided dimension stone for notable buildings throughout NSW and internationally. The quarries were an important aspect of Bowral's industrial history.
The stone is geologically known as microsyenite and was commercial traded as Bowral Trachyte. Bowral Trachyte became popular for kerbing in the later nineteenth and early twentieth century. The use of Bowral Trachyte by Sydney City's engineers as a hard rock to replace crumbling sandstone kerbs and gutters was the very catalyst which if not initiated, certainly spurred the The Gib's development (Ron Powell pers. comm.)
It was used locally in some quantity, but the bulk of it was exported to Sydney for major city buildings (Challis House, Martin Place; National Mutual Building, George Street; QVB, George Street; ANZAC Memorial, Hyde Park) and major public works (Hawkesbury River Bridge at Brooklyn). These structures have been listed on the State Heritage Register for their architectural, technical and engineering qualities. The trachyte from Bowral and the quarries from which it was extracted are significant for their contribution to the built heritage of the State. The stone from these quarries was used for the commemorative stones for Federation and for the foundation of Canberra and many war memorials.
The ballast quarry was important to the construction of the Great Southern Railway line from Mittagong to Goulburn, in the late 19th century. For 100 years stonemasons and quarrymen used their remarkable skills for blasting, cutting, trimming, polishing and handling the dense rock. The technologies of the time have technical significance and the quarries, as an entity, formed the basis of social development in Bowral as many families were involved with their operation. It was a major industry for the township of Bowral. An important Spooner depression relief program supported the region by using the stone for improvements on the mountain.
Mount Gibraltar is a volcanic intrusion that cooled in such a way as to form this special rock. 180 million years of erosion have exposed the rock. Mount Gibraltar Microsyenite is the technical term for the stone which was marketed as 'Bowral Trachyte' at the time in the belief it would be exempt from Government tax. Bowral Trachyte, has the unique properties of great strength and durability and decorative potential when polished plus accessibility for quarrying. These quarries are of State significance due to the fact that microsyenite of this quality, both aesthetically and functionally, is rare internationally.
The rock was studied by our great geologists such as Andrew Griffith Taylor, T. W. Edgeworth, David and Douglas Mawson. Architects such as Walter Liberty Vernon, George Macrae, Edward E. Raht; builders such as John Leggat, Loveridge and Hudson, Amos Brothers, Saunders, Phippard Bros., Melocco Bros. and engineers of the railways, road, bridges and dams made use of the stone (Lemann et. al. 2007).
The Mount Gibraltar Quarries are a significant industrial landscape. Although overgrown, with many elements relocated, the quarries retain many elements of their industrial heritage including; scars of the quarrying that show how the stone was removed, (plug and feather technique), machinery and the remains of trackways and tramways.
The Mount Gibraltar Forest is significant due to its rarity, being identified as an endangered ecological community under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act and threatened ecological community under the EPBC Act. The unique geology of the area supports a collection of flora that, as an assemblage, does not exist outside of the Reserve.

Bong Bong Common and Memorial
Moss Vale Road, Moss Vale
Front Inscription: 'Site of Bong Bong Military Sttion and first township reserve on the Southern Highlands surveyed 1821 R.A.H.S.'
Back Inscription: 'Donated by H. Talbot and xxxxxx'
Lombardy Poplar Inscription: This tree was planted on 19th January 1947 by His Royal Highness Prince William of Gloucester.'
Bong Bong Common is the site of the first European settlement in the Southern Highlands. From 1817, explorer and pastoralist Dr Charles Throsby was grazing his cattle on both side of the great bend in the Wingecarribee River. Under instructions from Governor Lachlan Macquarie, the Old Argyle Road, leading south from the Cumberland Plain, was commenced in 1819, providing access to the newly settled land south of Camden to Bong Bong, Sutton Forest and beyond. In 1820, the Governor passed through the area on a journey to the south, camping on the banks of the river near Throsby's hut. Macqarie thought the country on the northern bank of the river to be 'really beautiful', being fit for both cultivation and grazing' and in March 1821 he decided to lay the official village of Bong Bong there.
The village developed as the first centre for law and order in the Southern Highlands with a row or government buildings erected between 1822 and 1832, close to the Old Argyle Road where the road curved westwards to cross the river by the causeway which is still so important a feature of the site. A hut for the first gaoler, Bryan Bagnall, on conditional pardon from his life sentence, was erected beside a simple bark-roofed lock-up in 1822, and soldiers were initially housed in huts until barracks were erected by 1829. In the same year, 1829, postal facilities were established. A school for children of settlers on the numerous small mixed farms in the district had already opened in 1827 a blacksmith's shop was built opposite the lock-up and an animal pound was built in 1832. The neat, rough-cast commissariat store was built between 1829 and 1831 at the east end of the government row. Bong Bong was not a residential settlement but a centre for the administration of law and order, with some basic services for the scattered rural population.
The magistrates, among them Charles Throsby and James Atkinson, supervised the two or three constables and lock-up keper and scouger, as well as the clerk servicing their courts, while the soldiers were under military command. There was need of accommodation for travellers and those attending the courts. In 1827, William Bowman opened the Argyle Inn on the high land just to the north, above the village and looking across to Throsby Park on the south side of the river.
Bong Bong was bypassed by Surveyor General Thomas Mitchell's new road ot the south (Great South Road) which road gangs contructed in the early 1830s. It ran through the new town of Berrima, where a court house was opened in 1838. As a direct reslut, Bong Bong ceased to be significant. The post office moved to Berrima in 1837, the Argyle Inn closed and the police and military buildings at Bong Bong were in disrepair by 1843, when the entire government site was sold to Charles Throsby Jnr.
The old commissariat stare remained as a general store. This prospered under its proprietor Dovey in the later 1860s when the Argyle Road was redirected past the store, cutting the site of old Bong Bong into two unequal parts. Soon afterwards the new Bong Bong railway from Mittagong bypassed Berrima. The consequent growth of Moss Vale at the expense of Berrima did not restore Bong Bong but gave a modest prosperity for a while to its surviving store.
In the later 19th Century the other official buildings at Bong Bong simply decayed and disappeared. The causeway of the 1820s was no longer used and the store lay on the farther side of the realigned Argyle Road leading to Moss Vale. The flat land just to the north of the decayed site was developed as a commercial airstrip foar light aircraft by Eric von Nida in 1978. By that time most memories of the former township had faded and no remains were visible.

Briars Inn
653 Moss Vale Road, Burradoo - P 02 4868 3566
In 1844 Charles Throsby bought the abandoned Bong Bong village site along with the nearby 640 acre Bowman property that included the Argyle Inn.
Throsby opened a new inn further up the hill in 1845, called The Royal Oak, replacing the earlier inn built by William Bowman in 1827.
The Royal Oak functioned as an inn under several licensees until 1874 when it was converted to a private residence and renamed The Briars by Patrick Hill Throsby, son of Charles, who inherited the property.
A large two storey structure with a low hipped roof extending its deep eaves over the walls, it was built of brick on a stone foundation with a stone-flagged front verandah. The original shingled roof was replaced by an iron roof system.
At the rear of the 12-room house was a courtyard formed by a two storey brick wing on one side and a single storey kitchen on the other. There were also outhouses, stables, coach house and a large slab-built barn.
For a century The Briars was home to several Throsby generations and for a time, became a Preparatory School for Boys. Then it was again home to successive families with the land being leased out for farming.
In 1940 it was very dilapidated and new owners undertook renovations. In 1958 The Briars was bought by Sydney Church of England Girl's Grammar School to enlarge their Moss Vale School and for 16 years the students learnt the art of housekeeping here.
In 1979 new owners were granted, under the "Historic Inns Act" and with the approval of the National Trust, the renewal of the original licence and this allowed the premises to reopen as an Inn.

Cecil Hoskins Nature Reserve (memorial)
Access from Moss Vale Road before crossing the Wingecarribee River on your left coming from Bowral, and after crossing the Wingecarribee River on your right coming from Moss Vale.
When Bong Bong Weir was constructed in the 1920s to supply water to Moss Vale, a lagoon and swamp area form at that part of the Wingecarribee River. Only 12 years later it was declared a wildlife sanctuary. Now, over 90 species of birds, a third of which are waterbirds, have made it their temporary or permanent home.
The land was originally part of the 1,000 acres granted in 1819 to Charles Throsby in recognition of his exploration of a route from the Southern Highlands to the Bathurst district. This area is also where Bong Bong village, the first settlement in the Southern Highlands, once stood. Although the village no longer exists, you can view historic Throsby Park from the reserve, where colonial buildings remain intact.

Railway Overbridge
Argyle Street, Moss Vale
A prominent element in the Argyle streetscape is the railway overbridge. When the railway was being built between Moss Vale and Marulan in 1867-1868 as a single track, the crossing over Argyle Street was via a low level timber beam bridge. In 1887 the timber bridge was replaced with a single track wrought iron truss bridge. When the line duplications were planned around 1910 a new double track bridge was designed. By then the change over from British to American bridge technology was complete and American style steel Pratt trusses were standard for large span railway bridges. The current bridge, opened in 1917, was built to accommodate engines of double the weight of contemporary engines and for higher speeds, meaning that it has remained relatively unchanged since then.

Eling Forest Estate
12587 Hume Highway, Sutton Forest - P 02 4878 9499
The Eling Forest property was established by John Morrice in 1835.
A land grant of 1000 acres, promised in 1824 to free settler, William Lang, was released in 1835 to the Morrice brothers, who took possession of the land and established the Eling Forest and Comfort Hill properties. The brothers came to Australia in 1834 on the ship, James, with Reverend Dr John Dunmore Lang. On the journey near Brazil, provisions ran desperately short and Dr Lang was obliged to accept a loan from the Morrices to replenish supplies. Dr Lang, as a means of payment for the loan, released his father William Lang's 1000 acre grant at Sutton Forest to the Morrices for the sum of £500.
Eling Forest was named by John Morrice after Eling, the English seat of his uncle, Sir Walter Morrice, an English town near Southampton.
John and his wife, Jane Osborne settled at Eling Forest and built the homestead in 1840.
