THE town of Bowral in the NSW Southern Highlands is hoping for a surge in Mary Poppins tourism, after a successful attempt to set a new world record for umbrella-raising. 2115 umbrellas were raised for 10 minutes on the town’s Bradman Oval (pictured below), “smashing the previous world record…set in Serbia in 2009”. P.L. Travers, who wrote the iconic children’s story, lived in Bowral for some time, and Tourism Southern Highlands says there’s “mounting evidence” that she came up with the idea for the prototype super-nanny while in residence . |
