There is even a photo of that water tank in his home in Bowral among the memorabilia displayed in the museum. Bradman had learnt his cricket skills as a child in Bowral by hitting a golf ball that rebounded unpredictably off a water tank in his backyard, before moving to Sydney to begin his glorious journey in the game that gave him everlasting fame.
