Berrima

And so the Highlands itself is a book town, even though it's not really a town.

But, yeah, I live in Berrima, which is a beautiful Georgian village of just a few hundred people.

And it is the home of the Berkeley Book Barn, which is a stunning, stunning old second-hand book.

an antiquarian book bookshop um but also uh an events venue um beautiful buildings that are now host some of australia's most beautiful weddings and it's got restaurants and it's got cellar doors and all the other things but it started as a beautiful barn for old books for the berkelo family who have been dealing in old books for a couple of hundred years um and So that is perhaps part of the story of how this book came to be written.

And Leo Berclow, who has passed away recently, but he was the patriarch of the Berclow books dynasty, I suppose you might say.

And he was an antiquarian book dealer.

And so that business remains there in Berrima.

And And, you know, he was very kind enough to sort of sit with me for many months while we were putting together stories about his life and a memoir.

There's a Berkelow's in Sydney, I know, and it's in other places.

But They've got a huge book barn down near Berrima in New South Wales.

So that's really interesting.

But I know that Clunes in Victoria, I've been there and they have a wonderful book town.

Yeah, yeah.

And it's a number of small towns in the Southern Highlands.

So you've got a Barrel, Berrima, Mittagong and Mossvale, I think, are the four towns.

And it's a really interesting little trail you can drive around.

The Gardening Clinic, our number's 131873.

It's been recently renovated and expanded for spring and wandered through those wonderful woodland glades and formal gardens.

So check it out.

The entry signifying that the party travelled to the north for 12 miles to avoid these rough creeks may be understood to mean that they kept bearing to the north of west for many miles.

It also occurs around Mandama, on the north side of the Windjikarabi River, over the junction of Joadja Creek, but to the left or south of where the travellers passed.

no waterfalls are encountered between bowral or mittagong and mandama except very small ones such as those on cordo creek having traced the explorers into this neighbourhood past the head of joadja creek it became necessary for me to prove the presence of the argyle apple at this spot To my first inquiries negative replies were furnished, but later, through the kindness of Mr. Percy C. Cordo of Boullieu, undoubted specimens of this eucalyptus were forwarded, having been found by Mr. William J.

Being satisfied from our view from off the hills, we gave it the name of Mount Pleasant, leaving it to your excellency to name it as you think most proper.

We fell in with the kangaroos, but could not get a shot at them, so we took our lodging for that night.

There is no suggestion in the above entry that they were only commencing the return journey on February 1st, whereas when they turned back on the second journey, after quoting the course as the reverse of what they had been travelling, the entry reads, We did not see any better way back.

if the party had left the wollandilli on february first and travelled south-east by east for about seven miles or less from near bulio instead of reaching meadows they would have become entangled in the gorges of the wenjikarabi river it seems quite evident that they retraced their steps on january thirty first and passed the joadja creek waters Then on February 1st, after passing along near Hurdle Range and Bendule, they reached the comparatively open country to the northeast of Berrima, and this would seem like meadows compared with the class of country through which they had travelled.

The new species of bird which they recorded was undoubtedly the gangang, Calocephalum galeatum, which inhabits the locality to the present day.
