About Cowra

Surrounded by farmland on the Lachlan River, Cowra is known for its vineyards and Japanese Cultural Centre. It is the commercial centre of a strong agricultural area that covers horticulture, aquaculture and viticulture.

Delicious food and wine, stunning natural attractions and a fascinating military history make Cowra a great place to visit. In 1944, more than 1,000 Japanese prisoners of war attempted to escape from a local internment camp. Cowra has since forged a remarkable friendship with Japan, and there are many tributes to this relationship around the town. Explore the Japanese Garden and Cultural Centre, teahouse, pottery house, bonsai house and pretty gardens at Sakura Avenue.
