In this episode we take a deep dive into the hidden gem that is the Berrima District Museum, nestled in the picturesque Southern Highlands region of New South Wales.
We are joined by a passionate volunteer named Bud, who takes us on a journey through the museum's unique exhibits. The first stop is the Prisoners of Arcady exhibit, which tells the story of about 200 German merchant seamen who were interned in the Berrima district during World War 1. Bud shares fascinating insights into the lives of these men, including the hardships they faced and the ways they made the best of their situation.
Next, Bud takes us to the digital gardening display, which he helped create in collaboration with BDHS member Harlan Hall. The exhibit showcases the history of some notable gardens in the Southern Highlands region and how they have been influenced by the region’s unique climate and geography and evolved over time.
Whether you're a history buff, a gardening enthusiast, or simply curious about the hidden treasures of Australia, this episode is not to be missed!
