Kangaroos in the Southern Highlands Wine and dining in the Southern Highlands

A day unlike
any other

Just 90 minutes south of Sydney, the Southern Highlands is a landscape that rewards those who know where to look. Rolling farmland, sandstone heritage villages, cool-climate vineyards, an 81-metre waterfall, and a private farm where kangaroos emerge at dusk. This is Australia, unhurried and entirely yours.

Welcome to the Southern Highlands

Just 90 minutes south of Sydney, the Southern Highlands is a landscape that rewards those who know where to look. Sandstone heritage villages, cool-climate vineyards, an 81-metre escarpment waterfall, and a private farm where kangaroos roam freely at dusk.

Stop One

Fitzroy Falls

At 81 metres, Fitzroy Falls is one of the most dramatic waterfall lookouts in New South Wales. The water drops from the Barrengarry Gorge escarpment into a deep valley of ancient rainforest below — spectacular in any season, extraordinary after rain. The Jersey Lookout offers the finest vantage point, with views across the Kangaroo Valley all the way to the coast on a clear day.

Stop Two

Berrima

Australia's most intact Georgian village, Berrima has barely changed since the 1840s. Sandstone courthouse, colonial gaol, historic inn — and a main street of galleries, providores and cafés that reward a slow wander. It is the ideal first stop of the day: unhurried, quietly beautiful, and a reminder that the Southern Highlands has been drawing travellers for a very long time indeed.

Stop Three

Bendooley Estate

One of the Southern Highlands' most celebrated cellar doors. Bendooley pours fine cool-climate wines alongside charcuterie and local produce — the kind of tasting that slows the afternoon down in exactly the right way. Next door, the Book Barn occupies a converted stone building on the working vineyard: thousands of secondhand and rare books, and a destination entirely worth visiting on its own.

Stop Four

Harry's on Greenlane

Tucked into a quiet pocket of Bowral, Harry's on Greenlane is the kind of place that rewards those who know where to look. A refined stop for lunch or a long afternoon coffee — unhurried, beautifully run, and one of the Southern Highlands' most loved addresses. The surrounds are green and calm, the produce is local, and the pace is exactly what a day like this deserves at its close.

Stop Five

Boscobel Farm

The day ends somewhere most visitors to Australia will never find. Boscobel is a private working farm — rolling meadows, ancient trees, absolute stillness. As the afternoon light softens and the air cools, the kangaroos emerge across the paddocks. Cold drinks, local produce, and the kind of quiet that only the Australian countryside can offer. This is the ending that stays with people.

"We had no idea the Southern Highlands was this beautiful. The whole day felt completely personal to us — every stop was perfectly chosen. Bendooley and Fitzroy Falls alone were worth the trip."

— Sarah M. · TripAdvisor Review

★★★★★

"Genuinely one of the best days of our Australia trip. The kangaroos at dusk at Boscobel Farm — we still talk about it. A guide who actually knows and loves what they're showing you makes all the difference."
