The identity of Cowra has become bound up with the Cowra POW breakout of 1944 and the subsequent association with Japan. Of interest are the remnants of the POW camp, the POW cemeteries, Cowra’s heritage buildings, the Cowra Museums, Australia’s World Peace Bell, the Cowra Italy Friendship Monument, Darbys Falls Observatory, Croote Cottage (1827), Wyangala Waters State Recreation Area and Conimbla National Park. Fine homestead accommodation is available at Cowra.
