Day in the Southern Highlands with Mum

Mum and I ventured south to the countryside.  Mum says its not country anymore and just an extension of Sydney.  She should know as she used to live in Bowral.  But for me, it seems vastly different than living in Inner West Sydney.

We began with a stop at the Bowral Country Markets.  Not really much selection but I did purchase some delicious tomato relish.

Our next stop was lunch at Biota Dining and the main reason for the day trip. Mum had visited the restaurant with some friends recently.  The food was really good, especially the broad bean bruschetta.  The restaurant is really pretty with open doors and a lot of sunlight.  Service kind of slow but overall very worth a trip.

We ventured next to the Wine and Food Festival at the Bong Bong Picnic Racetrack.  Glass of vino while wandering around buying tomato and mint plants in the sunshine.

And last stop, with a not overly enthusiastic Mum, were the tulips at the Corbett Gardens.
