Burradoo (/ˈbʌrəduː/) is a suburb of Bowral, in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, in Wingecarribee Shire.[2] At the 2016 census, Burradoo had a population of 2,645 people.[1]
The village of Burradoo is well known as an expensive area in the Southern Highlands (among other residential areas including Mount Gibraltar, Knotts Hill, Central Bowral, Kangaloon, and East Kangaloon).[citation needed] This is because Burradoo is home to many historic manor houses and large modern architectural homes on small acreages. Often Burradoo is compared to parts of England largely reflected in the architecture & gardens.[citation needed]
Burradoo comes from an Aboriginal phrase meaning many brigalow trees.[2]
Schools
Burradoo is home to two independent, co-educational, secondary day schools:
- Oxley College is built on the estate of Elvo, the former home of Septimus Alfred Stephen[3] and later of Arthur Wigram Allen],[4] and recently[when?] had its 25th anniversary.[citation needed] The school now has a primary schooling facility.[citation needed]
- Chevalier College is built on the estate of Riversdale House, the former home of the descendants of Henry Osborne. It is a relatively rare example of the smaller scale domestic buildings of John Horbury Hunt in the Arts & Crafts style of Federation architecture and includes a house, ballroom and two chapels.[5] Whilst the School originally was a boys boarding school in the 1970s, it has become a co-educational college including day students. In 2003 the boarding houses were shut and the college is now the largest in the Southern Highlands and also the largest single employer in the Southern Highlands.[citation needed]
