Cowra

Australia's World Peace Bell Each country has only one peace bell and it is normally located in the nation's capital, but Cowra was awarded Australia's Peace Bell owing to local efforts for peace. The bell is a replica of the United Nations World Peace Bell in New York City and was made by melting down coins donated from 103 member countries of the United Nations. It is rung each year during the Festival of International Understanding. Darling St.

Japanese Garden This garden, opened in 1979, is complete with a cultural centre (with a collection of Japanese artwork and artefacts), a traditional teahouse, a bonsai house and a pottery. The garden itself represents the landscape of Japan, with mountain, river and sea re-created. From here gracious Sakura Ave, lined with cherry trees that blossom in spring, leads to the site of the POW camp and to the Australian and Japanese cemeteries. The camp includes the original foundations and replica guardtower, with photo displays and signage; audio tours available. Off Binni Creek Rd; (02) 6341 2233.

Olympic Park: information centre with a fascinating interpretive POW display and theatre. Also here is Cowra Rose Garden with over 1000 rose bushes in over 100 varieties; Mid Western Hwy. Cowra–Italy Friendship Monument: in recognition of Italians who died in WW II (Italian POWs interned at Cowra formed a strong friendship with the town); Kendal St. Lachlan Valley Railway Museum: displays and train rides; Campbell St. Cowra Mill Winery: winery in former flour mill (1861) with cellar-door tastings and restaurant; Vaux St; (02) 6341 4141. Aboriginal murals: by local artist Kym Freeman on pylons of bridge over the Lachlan River. Cowra Heritage Walk: Federation, colonial and Victorian buildings including the town's first hotel and oldest home; map from visitor centre.

Cowra wine region Though just next door to Orange, the Cowra region has a warmer climate, and the vines are exposed to warm winds that blow across the plains from Central Australia. These conditions best suit chardonnay, the area’s main wine. The vineyards surround the towns of Cowra and Canowindra and are side-by-side with grazing properties in low river valleys. Cowra Estate is the area’s oldest winery, established in 1973, while Windowrie Estate has its cellar door in an old flour mill. While you’re in Cowra, visit the Japanese Garden, landscaped to represent mountain, river and sea. A cherry-tree lined avenue leads to the site of a World War II POW camp where many Japanese prisoners were held. 

Cowra museums: war, rail and rural museums all in one complex; Sydney Rd; 5 km E. Darby Falls Observatory: one of the largest telescopes accessible to the public. Check opening times; (02) 6345 1900 or 0417 461 162; Observatory Rd; 25 km SE. Conimbla National Park: known for its wildflowers, rock ledges, waterfalls, bushwalks and picnics; 27 km W. Lake Wyangala and Grabine Lakeside State Park: ideal for watersports and fishing; 40 km SE. Self-guide drives: through countryside including a wine-lovers' drive; brochure from visitor centre.
