Bradman Oval is situated at Bowral in the southern highlands area of New South Wales, Australia. It was named after cricketer Don Bradman, who lived locally and played at the ground in the 1920s. His ashes are scattered on and near the Oval.[1]

It is an attractive ground, with a white picket fence and an old fashioned pavilion. The Camden Woollybutt is the main gum tree species surrounding the playing surface.

Bradman Oval and the nearby Bradman Museum are tourist attractions for cricket fans in Australia, and for people visiting from overseas.
