Tragedy and beauty, a driving tour of Cowra, town in Country New South Wales, Australia

Cowra is a pretty Australian country town in the state of New South Wales. Known for great hospitality, great food, great wine, amazing scenery and a rich and tragic history.

In this driving tour we'll start on the Bellevue Hill Lookout work our way down past the Japanese Garden & Cultural Centre, we'll view the old Prisoner of War camp, drive through the war cemetery. Then we'll make our way into the commercial centre of town, towards Waugoola Creek where the old railway station and the Lachlan Valley Railway society reside. To even things out we'll check out some typical suburban streets before head back to the centre of town and end the tour.

Sit back, grab a snack and I hope you enjoy the trip as we take a look a Cowra. Hopefully this video may inspire you to visit the region, especially in September for the Cherry Blossom Festival.
