Moidart Garden - Edridge Park Road, Bowral

This fairly well known nursery/garden was surprisingly difficult to locate. A hunt it was, but whether it can be considered a treasure is arguable.

Without a street number, the search was an uphill task to start with. To add more obstacles on the course, Moidart was erroneously marked on the internet maps. Fortunately, the map from Mittagong information centre was more accurate and offered a fall back position after a few rounds of wild goose chase. 

The only sign was inconspicuous and could not lead the driver into the long road before reaching the nursery garden gate.  The entrance fee is $7 is not very expensive. However, there aren't that many thriving and wide varieties of flowers. Perhaps spring comes late in the highlands.

If one is driving from Sydney or Melbourne and don't mind travelling another hour or more, Canberra was would be a feast for the eyes.

Leura (Blue Mountains) gardens hopping is another option for visitors who enjoy colourful spring blossoms.
