History & Significance
Anzac Hill is a prominent local landmark in the Southern Highlands region, named to commemorate Australian servicemen and women. The summit has become a popular viewpoint for the surrounding landscape and a focal point for the Bowral community.
Getting There
Located near Mittagong in the Southern Highlands, approximately 2 hours south-west of Sydney. Access via Bowral, well-signposted from town. No public transport available — a car is essential.
Parking
Free parking available at base of hill. Limited capacity — typically sufficient for day visitors but can fill during peak times (weekends, school holidays). No specific accessibility parking noted. Road access is good but parking areas are modest.
