Cootamundra has more to offer than gorgeous wattle trees. Bradman’s Birthplace was restored by the Cootamundra City Council and honours Sir Donald Bradman.

Granny Scholz, the mid-wife who delivered “The greatest batsman the world has ever known” Sir Donald Bradman on 27th August 1908, operated a small private hospital in the front room of this building at 89 Adams Street, Cootamundra, New South Wales, Australia.

Stroll through Jubilee Park, which features bronze sculptures of Australian Test Cricket Captains, including a lifesize sculpture of Sir Donald Bradman.

    It is also the birthplace of the infamous Sarah Moore :) and one of the prettiest towns you could ever visit (not that I am biased or anything)...

    Well, they should have Sarah Moore’s Birthplace as a tourist attraction, too!
