Bowral /ˈbaʊrəl/ is the largest town in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales, Australia, and the main business and entertainment precinct of the Wingecarribee Shire and Highlands. As of 2011 the population numbered 12,154.
In a past era, Bowral served as a rural summer retreat for the elite gentry of Sydney similar to The Hamptons for wealthy New Yorkers, resulting in the establishment of many grand historic estates and manor houses in the district. Today, Bowral is often associated with the cricketer Sir Donald Bradman.
Bowral is close to several other historic towns, being 5 kilometres (3 mi) from Mittagong, 9 kilometres (6 mi) from both Moss Vale and Berrima. The suburb of East Bowral and the village of Burradoo are nearby.
Bowral's history extends back for approximately 200 years. During the pre-colonial era, the land was home to an Aboriginal tribe known as Tharawal. This was not a permanent setting for the Indigenous people, as the climate of the region was considered too cool. The name Bowral is believed to be derived from the Aboriginal word "Bowrel" which loosely translates into the word "high". Ex-convict John Wilson, whose search party was commissioned by Governor Hunter to explore south of the new colony of Sydney. Other people to traverse the area include John Warby and botanist George Caley (an associate of Joseph Banks), the Hume brothers and later famous pioneer explorers John Oxley and Charles Throsby. Governor Lachlan Macquarie of the New South Wales colony had appointed 2,400 acres (9.7 km2) to John Oxley in a land grant, which was later incorporated as Bowral.

This year, it's all about this year right here
This year, it's all about this year right here
This year, it's all about this year right here
This year, it's all about this year right here
My wings are soaring
spent too many years held down by the forces of
darkness
Exhausted with no energy
My box of rhymes filled with many thoughts and memories
Unforgiving those that trespass against me
My character in life to sacrifice against me
No regrets, self relentless on a journey
Another year, another opportunity - yeah.
A new sunrise, a new day to embrace
And make changes in my life, to rest in new stages ???
Restoration for my family
We felt the pains of broken-ness, lonliness
I'm hopin this year we can grow from the struggle
I'm holding this pen & expressing my heart
And I gotta show my love with actions
To focus on God and not get distracted
This year, it's all about this year right here (x4)
It's obvious that I'm livin a dream
I try hard to stay awake but it's way too late
So long I've waited, so far away
No man could take away what I'm holding
My salvation, peace, love, and freedom
I've got other things but I know I don't need 'em
I got my family and that's so beautiful
When I write rhymes, each line is crucial
I'm inspired by ??? butterfly
I'm not lookin at those girls when they passin by
Silly sinacle, you could sit at home
That's a essential though I'm not tryin ta catch next
drop kick
I got so much on the line
I'm feelin like the paper that I write on, no doubt
I'm keepin God first at being diligent
So no matter what I face I can deal wit it
Tony Stone on the beat and we're doin it...
[beat change]
This year! It's all about this year right here (x4)
Ill flavor in ya ear wit a message!
This is the Bay ta test for the main event
I speak from the soul, my skintone is irrelevant
Canada to Germany, LA to the East
I did shows in Japan, I'm a travelin man like MosDef
I got ten-thousand of Yen
8 bucks, 5 Euro, keep it live in ya borough or project
I'm on a mission with ambition
Bringin transmission to spiritual transmission
Spread throught the airwaves like a air-raid
Droppin concepts never heard on the airplay
And airborne evolution's takin place
It all starts with you, Mic check 1, 2
