Cowra in the Central West region of NSW is a charming town surrounded by vineyards, waterways and pretty countryside in the beautiful Lachlan Valley.

Cowra is also part of Wiradjuri country, one of the largest Aboriginal language groups in Australia. In Wiradjuri dialect, the word 'coura' means rocks, an appropriate name for a town with rocky granite surrounds. About 1847 the river crossing at Coura Rocks became known as Cowra. In 1849 it was proclaimed a settlement.
