A short detour off the motorway is a region that can look rather English when there’s been rain. Bowral in particular, reads like a storybook of simpler days for kids like Mary Poppins. The creator's - Helen Goff/PL Travers - her childhood house is still there on Holly Street and there’s a statue of Mary Poppins in Glebe Park. You can also see where Ginger Meggs (the movie adaptation of the popular comic) was filmed, or visit the Bradman Museum - a must-visit for cricket fans. Drop into the Milk Factory Gallery to admire the ever changing artwork on display.
