The Southern Highlands of NSW, only two hours from Sydney, has become a home away from home for many Sydneysiders.
   The cooler summer climate, the mountains, the historic townships, the arts and crafts, the antiques, the great restaurants, the magnificent gardens, the Tulip Festival in Bowral, Minamurra Falls, the Kiama Blowhole, Fitzroy Falls and Kangaroo Valley all go to making up a cool change from Sydney's hectic lifestyle.
   We start our tour in Berrima, reminiscent of a little English village, by having breakfast at a  170-year-old heritage restaurant.
