Love at first sight Fashion executive Gabrielle Krieg fell for Bowral’s historic Apollonia the moment she saw it. She explains how she and her husband have made it their own – and why she loves doing business in Bowral.

Off to a good start The Highlands is today home to seven major thoroughbred studs, but when Rheinwood started in 1991 there were doubters. “A lot of people said the Highlands was too cold to raise racehorses but our motto is: ‘Bred in the cold, hot on the track’,” says operations manager Kirsty Willis.  Tooth teller Forensic odontologist Professor Chris Griffiths has decades of experience in the identification of victims of mass disasters, terrorist attacks, misdemeanour and murder.  The pleasure of pots Gardenalia offers all the elements of a flourishing Highlands garden with a twist – more than half the plants, including maples, fruit trees and crabapples, are in pots.  Just add herbs Growing herbs is easy gardening and early summer is a great time to plant most of them. Frances Simons lists ten that will flourish in Highlands gardens. A village venture Italian-born Diego Arata has re-energised the Berrima General Store and Cafe, adding a dash of Italian flavour.  Photo opportunities James Cockington and technology have never been friends, but when he was given a box of old family photographs, he realised it was time to learn how to preserve family history. A little R&R (reading and relaxation) Our reviews of novels, non-fiction, cookbooks and garden books will provide plenty of inspiration for Christmas gifts or wish lists.
