Depart your pick-up point and travel into the heart of the Southern Highlands to uncover one of Berrima’s hidden gems—Harper’s Mansion. Perched high above the historic village, this beautifully preserved Georgian country house, built in 1834, offers an intimate guided tour through its elegant interiors and tells the story of the Harper family’s rise and fall.

Afterwards, wander through two acres of cool-climate gardens, where heritage roses, flowering perennials, and camellias create a painterly scene. Don’t miss the highlight—the grand hedge maze, one of the largest in Australia and a delightful experience for all.

Lunch today will be enjoyed at the historic Surveyor General Inn, Australia’s oldest continuously licensed inn. Soak in the atmosphere of this iconic venue and enjoy a hearty country-style meal in a setting steeped in colonial history.

In the afternoon, we continue to Ngununggula, the Southern Highlands Regional Gallery. Housed in a beautifully converted dairy building on the grounds of Retford Park, this light-filled gallery showcases rotating exhibitions from acclaimed Australian artists. Take your time to browse, relax, and absorb the creativity of the region before rejoining the coach for your return journey.
