Option - Bradman’s Tour
Start Location: Cootamundra Heritage & Visitor Information Centre
Starting at the Heritage Centre, you will be overwhelmed with the information and history at the centre, with few artefacts on Sir Donald Bradman to get you started off. Just across the road is Albert Park, one of the two Cootamundra Cricket ovals. Turning down onto Adams Street, you follow this all the way until you reach Bradman’s Birthplace which will be on your right-hand side. The Volunteers at the centre will inform you on the great history and guide you through all the artefacts donated to Donald’s Birthplace Museum. Upon leaving the Museum, still on Adams street and just around the corner is Bradman’s oval- the second Cricket oval in town. From here you want to get to your final destination, the Captains walk which is located in Jubilee Park on the corner of Wallendoon and Onley Streets.
End Location: Captains Walk, Jubilee Park.
Option 2 - Historic Buildings
Start location: Old Cootamundra District Hospital
Cootamundra is rich with historic buildings, and starting at the Old Cootamundra Hospital you will not be disappointed. Located on the corners of Mackay and Thompson streets, the hospital is a beautiful old two-story building with a grand entrance.
From here it’s a short distance to Cooper Street where you will find the old Police station built in 1884; the Cootamundra Post Office with Town Clock and the National Bank Of Australian Building.
End location: Main street of Cootamundra, Parker Street.
