4 April - Cowra

After a short stop in Canberra to finalise some paperwork for a personal matter we made our way to inland NSW and Cowra.



David’s parents live in the historic town of Cowra so this was by no means our first nor will it be our last visit here. Cowra has some lovely attractions but our main reason for being here was family.  I won’t bore you with all the family catch up stuff, there was the usual greeting, eating, chatting and maybe a glass or two was imbibed.  We were there for Easter Sunday so our boys had a really nice egg hunt in their grandparents’ garden.  Needless to say Easter Bunny’s tracking system was well up to date so eggs were delivered even on our travels.  This actually matches with the tooth fairy who has also managed to find us twice already (she had hardly got home from the first visit).  This was no mean feat as we have a special tooth fairy who knows how much our boys love reading so always brings books for them not money.

We were in Cowra for a week as other members of the family joined us – but we treated this as part of our adventure and embarked on three day trips to surrounding towns that we had never been to before.  We also went back to some of Cowra’s main attractions; the Prisoner of War Camp and Japanese Gardens.  These are both very special places and we recommend them to anyone travelling through Cowra.  We also stayed for three nights at the Cowra Van Park and found the managers very friendly and helpful.  The park is lovely and shady, but it is next to the highway so there is some traffic noise.  

Our photos of the POW Camp can only be described as grey as it was a rather wet day.  Fortunately we had lovely weather for our trip to the Japanese Gardens and I hope these photos give you some idea of just how beautiful they are.
