| The township of Bowral is at the heart of Australia's first BOOKtrail and booktown project. Most famous for being the home town of cricketer, Don Bradman, Bowral can claim to be the birthplace of Mary Poppins, the fictional character created by author, PL Travers, and made famous by the Walt Disney movie. Find out the answer to the question: Where did Mary Poppins come from? by visiting www.mary-poppins-birthplace.net |
