Sir Donald Bradman’s Birthplace and Memorabilia Cottage<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Sir<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

One of the famous attractions in Cootamundra is the birthplace of cricket legend Sir Donald Bradman<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Stand in the place where Sir Donald Bradman was born” is the proud claim of the simple timber building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was not the Bradman family home but rather ‘Granny’ Scholz’s private hospital. Here the child from Yeo, 20 km north of Cootamundra, was born on 27 August, 1908. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As far as Australia is concerned, Bradman was the greatest cricketer of all time. Some would argue with no real basis for the claim, the greatest sportsperson of all time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The building is open from 9.00 am – 5.00 pm seven days a week. It is a shrine for cricket lovers who wish to indulge their fascination with this remarkable cricketer. Certainly his achievements as a batsman are never likely to be equalled (his test average of 99.94 is far ahead of his nearest rival). His status was as a quiet, unassuming, Aussie high achiever. Bradman’s parents moved to Bowral when he was only two and a half. Consequently there is a both a huge cricket museum and the international standard Bradman Oval at Bowral. Still the birthplace is genuinely interesting. It houses Bradman memorabilia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located next door is Memorabilia Cottage which has displays of everything from old convict-made bricks to tobacco tins and a Trafalgar drip cold safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
