Historical Berrima

Friday, May 16, 2008


Berrima is about three hours drive from Sydney heading south towards Canberra..

These are just some of the old buildings and churches which are part of this quaint historical town.

It is one of my favourite all time places to visit..




The first Building is The Holy Trinity Anglican Church built around 1840 ( if you click onto all the pictures they will enlarge)




The second is St Francis Xavier
Catholic Church built in 1851...






The Old Cottage and the Settlers Hut/Inn are now
used to display many of the locals art works












There are so many scrumptious, yummy restaurants, including one of the oldest hotels still in use in NSW. An old fashion lolly shop is filled with so many mouth watering chocolates and lollies, such as humbugs and boiled sweets. If you think you can just walk in and look you are wrong !!!

I just love browsing through the many craft stores and antique shops I am always in awe of the beautiful needlework, and century old furniture that still is in perfect condition.
