Don Bradman, The Babe Ruth Of Australian Cricket

The town of Bowral, New South Wales, hosts the Cricket Hall of Fame, really, a temple to the most famous Australian cricket player of all time, Don Bradman.

The complex has a relaxed, gentleman's vibe. Cute cricket pitch stands.

Besides, Bradman exhibits, there's plenty other stuff on display. Ball development and a little bit of women's history with the game.

The main event, heap o' Bradman objects and information.

Start the fandom when they're young with a kids book. A wall of cheeky ads related to cricket, including Mr pre-Dundee, Paul Hogan.

Back to Bradman. There's a full size, walk-in recreation of his last game with Bradman sitting in the locker room, post match. Get that man a pint.
