We need a hotel in Bowral in Sept, just for 1 night.
I have come across the manning motel on WOTIF and it gives a reasonably good rate.

I want to be quite close to the Bradman museum and walking distance to Bowral center.
Is this hotel location ok?

Anyone stayed there?
As I said, it's for one night only and doesn't need to be a palace.
Or is there somewhere better you can recommend, budget is about AD$150.

Thanks

Bowral ain't a huge town Mucky, more of a country village and a hotel/motel there anywhere ain't going to be too far from anywhere else unless it is a newer one built further out.

It has been a few years since I was there and can't say as I recall what hotels are right in the town and not a village street where they are prominent from memory.

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en...ns-to&resnum=1 indicates where it is relative to the town and Bradman Oval and I assume the Museum will be close to either one or the other.

Looks pretty smart as far as country motels go Mucky - http://www.themanning.com.au/

Thanks Bushranger.
Booked

ps. got my ticket for Day 3 of the Cardiff Ashes game.
C Mon England (Never ever thought I would say that lol)
Keep an eye out for me. lol

Could be some flower shows/open gardens about on Southern Highlands late September if that's of interest and Bowral ought to have some lovely gardens starting to blossom/bloom if gardeners have had their thumb in action.

Ashes! Wah!

On tv in the middle of the night here - well, 7.30pm to 3am! Bah!

You had better have something distinctive on that you can tell us about so we can keep an eye out for you, or maybe not and I'm sure a streak across the field will have you caught somewhere beyond slips!

You do not even need to worry about a bat or shoulder charge from Roy either.

What is it I ought to be looking out for Mucky?
We've got an ashes thread in the lounge btw if interested - http://www.fodors.com/community/fodo...ly-cricket.cfm

I'll be the bloke in the Glamorgan top and England hat.
Front rowm right side of the steps to the pavillion.
Probably eating a pasty or something.


Or If that is difficult which I suspect it will be I will streak at around 5:30



Come on England and Wales

Well seeing as you've already possibly headed off for the park, I'll have to google up a Glamorgan Top - one of those barber stripe jackets is it?

Just have a lot of sauce on six pasties lined up with a pot of beer beside each one.

Well I knew I should have taken sun tan lotion.

Bit sunburnt lol but an enjoyable day. Got a few wickets but not enough !

But it bloody rained which as soon as I saw proximity to sea [The Irish is it? of all places] and the clouds scudding about I was thinking this has the makings of a weather draw!

Those Irish eyes shining upon your lot it would seem.
btw, do they have competitive cricket in NI?, like a county team?

It rained at 4:15, came back on about an hour later with floodlights (Ashes 1st) and the whinging Aussie batsmen started crying about the light !!

UK is a smallish island many places arfe near the sea lol
