UPPER WOODLANDS (near Berrima), A PRIVATE COUNTRY GARDEN EXPERIENCE

Featured in the new book Great Gardens Australia, Upper Woodlands is a stunning private country garden near historic Berrima, opening to the public for one day only. Sunday 1 November 2026 | 10am–3pm

Explore more than three hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds, where woodland glades, formal gardens, ponds, fountains, stone walls and pathways lead to sweeping views across the Southern Highlands countryside.
