Description Milton Park south of Sydney near Bowral in the southern highlands has some beautiful gardens. It's a luxury hotel now.


I've got no mind to worry,
close my eyes and drift away

It's really marvelous place to drift away.

Great picture and I love the piece of the blue sky catched in the mirror of the water.

No, unfortunately I didn't stay there. It is way out of my price range. I just went to look at the gardens. I used to take my mother there to see the bluebells and the other wonderful flower displays.

IT looks amazing, hope it brought back happy memories of being there with your mother. Didn't even read like you could get a coffee there without being a resident, very exclusive!

I used to take my sister and mother there. Both are gone now. I have very fond memories of walking around the gardens.

Sorry to hear they have both passed, but lovely that you can visit and bring those memories to life.

Here are some more photos from 'Milton Park'. The gardens looked lovely at different times of the year.

lol No, I didn't stay there Sharon! lol It is a bit too rich for me!

A lot of people have their weddings there or other functions.

The gardens are lovely. There are bluebells everywhere and it's a great place to walk around. Of course you have to pay even to do that. lol

Wow! What a gorgeous place ... Oh to be rich! As it is, I reckon I couldn't even afford a cup of tea or coffee there!! LOL! But, like everyone else, I can dream - I'm sure George Clooney will be sweeping me off my feet any day now!! LOL!

Yes, I think a cup of coffee would be too much for me! lol But you're right, you can always dream!

Once I went there and the guy at the gate said it was closed for a private function. lol That didn't stop me, I drove up and parked for a while. I still managed to wander around, although I think I was bit under-dressed! The men were all wearing suits!

sevvysgirl In reply to xjames7 [2019-09-09 11:28:30 +0000 UTC]

You should have 'mingled' (despite the lack of suit) - that way you might have been thought to be part of the function and ended up with a free meal! LOL! I admire your nerve though, for not taking no for an answer! That's my life motto too - if you can't get in at the front door, go round the back!!

xjames7 In reply to sevvysgirl [2019-09-09 23:32:43 +0000 UTC]

Yes, I was quite daring that day. Normally I am quite shy and reserved.

I know in the UK you have many beautiful old historic residences, but in Australia they're few and none more than 200 years old. Milton Park was built in 1911 by Anthony Horden.

The photos remind me of my mother and sister who since died. I have many happy memories of the visits to Milton Park with them. The photos are special to me and that is why I put them up.

I'm so sorry to hear of your losses, Peter - losing people we love is so very hard Thank goodness for photography/photos though - they fill in the gaps/images that the mind can't quite remember.

I'm so glad this place brings back happy memories for you. And thank you for sharing those with your deviantArt friends. XX
