The theatre is housed in a small hut found at the Cowra Prisoner of War Camp during World War II. It tells the story of the Cowra Breakout through the eyes of Claire, a young Cowra local and is aimed at raising awareness of the historical significance of Cowra in modern military history and to encourage visitation to other local attractions and locations of historical importance. We are then joined by a local guide for a highlights tour of Cowra, including a stop at the Australian World Peace Bell, which is a replica of the one that stands in the forecourt of the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The Bell was awarded to Cowra in 1992 for its long standing contribution to world peace and international understanding.

Following our tour take a stroll through the Cowra Rose Garden or sit down to a tea or coffee at the Rose Garden Coffee House all situated next door to the Tourist Centre. Our next port of call is the Japanese Gardens and Cultural Centre, which is designed to embody the entire landscape of Japan, every bend takes us on a voyage of discovery. Cowra Japanese Garden is a simply stunning-5 hectare strolling garden, the largest of its type in the Southern Hemisphere which was officially opened in 1979 and remains a place of peace and a symbol of reconciliation between Australia and Japan. The Garden is connected to the site of the Breakout and former Prisoner of War Camp by Sakura Avenue. Translating to Cherry Tree Avenue in English, this commemorative drive connects the Cowra Japanese Garden with the site of the POW Camp and continues to the Australian and Japanese War Cemetery.

Thurs 7 Oct: Eugowra - Canola Gold - Fossils - Elegance - Food & Wine Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Today we head north from Cowra up to Eugowra for a guided tour of town and 36 + murals. A small committee was formed in 2012 to established the first mural meeting in aim to bring Eugowra back to life and attract visitor’s to the town. They are now heading into their 9th year and have over 36 murals as a part of the mural trail. The murals continue to bring the village of Eugowra to life with their fantastic representation of the stories of Eugowra and district. We then head to the township of Canowindra, the balloon and fish fossil capital of Australia andhome to the amazing Age of Fishes Museum and the stunning Montrose House. Along the way at this time of the year (Sept/Oct) take in the spectacular sweeping views of the fields of gold before arriving in Canowindra. Our next stop is just down the road at the fascinating Age of Fishes Museum. A chance discovery in 1955 revealed an extensive fossil bed dating from the Devonian Period, a 360 million year old formation containing the fossilised remains of over 3500 freshwater fish. Imagine a world ruled by fish! Long before dinosaurs roamed the earth, the mighty rivers of the Central West teemed with bizarre ancient fish - armoured fish, fish with lungs, and some huge predators with jaws like crocodiles. Thousands of their fossils were found here in Canowindra and give us a unique glimpse into life during the Devonian Period - the ‘Age of Fishes’. Following our tour at the museum, we step inside the stunning Montrose House where style, sophistication and old world charm combine to create a wonderful environment for lunch with a touch of class using fine linen, quality china, crystal and silverware. Our host Tommy Jeffs, a well-known character in the area has led a colourful career in the fashion, entertainment and hospitality industries. From the the Montrose House, we take a short stroll to Canowindra Historical Society Museum which depicts the development of Canowindra from the 1840s frontier township on the Belubula River to its growth as a rural centre. Horse drawn vehicles, vintage farm machinery, textiles, household memorabilia and an authentic slab hut recall the pioneering days. From the museum, its a 15minute drive out to Rosnay Organic Vineyard and Orchard producers of wines, olives and figs. Our visit will include tour and tastings at their award winning Cellar Door. A visit to the Cellar Door provides a different experience at certain times of the year, from January-March the fig harvest, to the February-April grape harvest and May-June the olive harvest, along with the processing work at the shed. After a very relaxing visit to Rosnay we head back down to Cowra to our motel with the remainder of the day at leisure, maybe hit the shops, enjoy the club amenities or just relax in our room before dinner. Overnight Cowra: Cowra Services Club Motel Day 4. Fri 8 Oct: Canola Gold - Iandra Castle - Henry Lawson - Quarry Winery Restaurant Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner Today has us travelling through spectacular fields of golden canola, viewing silo art, visiting a historic castle and birthplace of Henry Lawson. Our first stop today is atIandra Castle “Mount Oriel homestead”, a unique part of Australia’s heritage. The existing homestead was built over and incorporates, the original single-storey brick building on the site. This was the home of George Henry Greene, local landowner, grazier, and politician, after whom nearby Greenethorpe is named. After our tour and morning tea our drive takes us up to Grenfell ‘Birthplace of Henry Lawson’, we stop by the Silo Art Mural representing the contemporary farming industry and landscape of the Weddin Shire. The foreground features sheep, cattle, and native birds set in a landscape adorned by the Weddin Mountains National Park. Inside the Grenfell Art Gallery we view the Community Curtain which permanently occupies the northern wall of the gallery. The vision for the curtain was ‘a visual representation of the essence of the Grenfell community’ and began its journey in 1990 and its evolution meandered along until 2000 when the deadline for completion was set- the Centenary of Federation, September 2001. The curtain is 14 feet high, comprises five panels each of which is five foot wide. There was a team of 17 volunteers working on the project with funding coming from the Grenfell Dramatic Society. It’s then time for lunch at the Unwind Cafe before a stroll along the Festival Walk of Fame and selfie with Henry Lawson. Our local guide Geoff joins us on board for a highlights tour of Grenfell covering all things Henry Lawson, the towns histrionic streetscape and views from O’Brien’s Hill Lookout.
