Cowra & Canowindra, NSW

Saturday 30 September

We’re allowing time in the morning for people to arrive from their home town or city.

In the afternoon, Roy will lead us on a walk through the centre of Canowindra. The town has much to offer, not least being its renowned Age of Fishes museum.

In the evening, we’ll enjoy dinner at The Quarry Restaurant in Cowra (optional, at extra cost).

Sunday 1 October

We’ll be venturing out for two walks on Sunday.

In the morning, Roy will take us along the main street in Cowra, exploring the town’s architecture and history. 

After lunch, we’ll spend the afternoon at the Cowra Japanese Garden. This is known as one of the finest examples outside Japan.

While you’re there, you might want to enjoy some other attractions too, see visitcowra.com.au

Monday 2 October

We’ll head for home via historic Carcoar, ‘the town that time forgot’ (the former Court House has an impressive clock tower, but a clock was never installed).

We’ll take an unguided walk around and then enjoy lunch at Carcoar.

Alternatively, there are a fair number of motels in the town. It may be an idea to book early, as the October Long Weekend period is often busy.
