We have never been here before and it is a pretty little town.
The local caravan park has new owners and they know how to make a person feel welcome! The caravan park is very green with plenty of trees and lots of lawn areas. Right now the weather is glorious and we have added extra days to our one night stay just to enjoy this lovely spot.
Next to the caravan park is a council park that has something called The Captains Walk. It is a walk around the park past busts of every Captain of the Australian Cricket team since the team began right up to the present day. As each new captain is chosen a new bust is commissioned to add to the walk. Each bust has a plaque detailing the period of their captaincy.
This no doubt happened originally as a way to commemorate a local legend. Sir Donald Bradman was born on 27 August 1908 at a private hospital here in Cootamundra before the family moved to Bowral.
