Instead of being an hour and a half from Paris via TGV, the region is 90 minutes from Sydney by car. Bowral is 2 hours\u2019 drive north of Canberra and about 8 hours (just over 750km) north east of Melbourne.<\/p>\n<p>For those travelling from Wollongong and the South Coast, Bowral is roughly an hours\u2019 scenic drive inland.<br \/>\nThe region is serviced daily by coaches and trains. The thought of a Euro style train \/ bike \/ credit card \/ small pack adventure is not only extremely appealing but an affordable option. The train trip from Sydney Central to Bowral takes just under 2 hours and priced around $20 per person with an extra $12 for your bike.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2221 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/cyclingclassics.com.au\/bowral\/elementor-post-screenshot_17_2025-02-17-00-34-54_78dbf105-png\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"71\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingclassics.com.au\/bowral\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Elementor-post-screenshot_17_2025-02-17-00-34-54_78dbf105.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingclassics.com.au\/bowral\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Elementor-post-screenshot_17_2025-02-17-00-34-54_78dbf105.png 1200w, https:\/\/cyclingclassics.com.au\/bowral\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Elementor-post-screenshot_17_2025-02-17-00-34-54_78dbf105-1024x90.png 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingclassics.com.au\/bowral\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/02\/Elementor-post-screenshot_17_2025-02-17-00-34-54_78dbf105-768x68.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><strong>The Local Climbs<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you enjoy riding quiet, country roads set amidst picturesque rural backdrops you\u2019ll fall in love with the Southern Highlands.
