Welcome to Berrima, the town that time forgot. This self-guided walking tour will take you on a journey through the history and heritage of this amazing place. You will see how Berrima was once a thriving town, destined to become a district capital, but left behind by the railway to become a frozen snapshot of the past. You will marvel at the stunning architecture and design of the courthouse, jail, churches and houses built by some of the most famous people in Australian and British history. You will also enjoy the quaint and cosy atmosphere of the shops, cafes and gardens that offer a taste of Berrima's charm and beauty.

This tour will show you why Berrima is one of Australia's best preserved examples of a Georgian colonial town. It will also reveal some of the secrets and stories that make Berrima so fascinating and unique. Learn about the people who lived and worked here, the events that shaped the town's destiny and the legends that still haunt its streets.

I recommend starting the tour at the Berrima District Museum, but you can start your exploration at any point.

So grab your walking boots and your curiosity and get ready to explore historic Berrima with me. This tour takes about an hour and a half, but you can walk at your own pace and stop as often as you like. You will need a smartphone or tablet with internet access to follow the tour.
