There's a new reason to visit Berrima in NSW's Southern Highlands. Long-term local Lynn Watson of Berrima Walking Tours has just launched a brand new excursion, acquainting visitors with the rich past of the town - from tales of early settlers, inn keepers and convicts to insights on local women who've shaped the history of the town over the past centuries.
