Cowra and Darbys Falls Getaway: Top Attractions, Historic Sites and Glamping in Central Western NSW
Join us on an unforgettable 4-day adventure in Cowra and Darbys Falls, located in the heart of Central Western NSW. In this video, we explore the region's top attractions, delve into its rich history, and enjoy a unique glamping experience on a farm surrounded by sheep and horses. Whether you're a nature lover, history buff, or simply looking for a relaxing getaway, this trip has something for everyone.
Day 1: Scenic Views and Serene Gardens
Our journey begins at Elliotts Lookout near Wyangala, where we are greeted with breathtaking panoramic views of the Wyangala Dam and the surrounding landscape. This lookout is a perfect spot to start our adventure and take in the natural beauty of the area.
Next, we head to Wyangala Dam, a major water storage facility that offers stunning vistas and a range of recreational activities.
In the afternoon, we visit the Cowra Japanese Garden, a beautifully landscaped garden that symbolizes peace and reconciliation. Designed by renowned landscape architect Ken Nakajima, the garden features traditional Japanese elements, including koi ponds, bonsai trees, and serene walking paths. It's a tranquil place to reflect and unwind.
Day 2: History and Heritage
Our second day begins at the Lachlan Valley Railway Heritage Centre, where we step back in time to explore the rich railway history of the region. The centre houses a collection of historic locomotives, carriages, and memorabilia, offering a fascinating glimpse into the past.
We then visit the Cowra Peace Bell, a symbol of world peace and harmony. The bell, one of only a few in the world, was presented to Cowra by the World Peace Bell Association in recognition of the town's commitment to peace.
Our next stop is Bellevue Hill Lookout, where we enjoy sweeping views of Cowra and the surrounding countryside. It's a great spot for photography and taking in the vastness of the landscape.
We continue our historical journey with a visit to the Garrison Gates, remnants of the World War II-era Cowra Military Camp. The gates stand as a reminder of the town's significant role during the war.
A visit to the Prisoner of War Camp is next on our itinerary. This historic site is where the famous Cowra Breakout occurred in 1944, when Japanese prisoners of war staged a mass escape. The camp now features informative displays and memorials that provide insight into this dramatic event.
We round off the day with a visit to the Cowra Railway Station and take a tourist train ride. The station, with its well-preserved architecture, takes us back to the golden age of rail travel.
Finally, we relax at Faileigh Beach, a beautiful spot along the Lachlan River. It's an ideal place to unwind, enjoy a picnic, and take in the peaceful river views.
Day 3: Nature and Adventure
Day three takes us to Conimbla National Park, a haven for nature enthusiasts. We embark on the Ironbark Walking Track, which leads us to the scenic Cherry Creek Lookout. The walk is filled with native flora and fauna, making it a delightful experience for nature lovers.
We then explore the Wallaby Walking Track, which takes us to the Wallaby Picnic Area. This track offers more opportunities to immerse ourselves in the park's natural beauty and encounter local wildlife.
In the afternoon, we visit Wyangala Holiday Park, a popular destination for outdoor activities. The park offers a range of facilities, including camping, fishing, and boating, making it a perfect spot for adventure and relaxation.
Glamping Experience in Darbys Falls
When we weren't exploring, we spent our time glamping in Darbys Falls. This unique experience allowed us to unwind in a spacious tent set on a beautiful farm. The farm was home to friendly sheep and horses, adding to the charm of our stay.
Our glamping setup included all the comforts of home, such as a cozy bed, cooking facilities, and a private outdoor area where we could relax and enjoy the stunning countryside views. We spent our evenings cooking delicious meals, playing board games, and chatting around the campfire. The clear, star-filled skies provided a perfect backdrop for stargazing, making our stay even more memorable.

CHEAP CAMPING AND LONG TERM STAY @ Cowra Showgrounds in New South Wales
MY FREE & BUDGET CAMPSITE MAP:

Wow! What a great cheap campsite, it’s call Cowra Showground and the site is on Cowra Rd in Cowra, which is situated in the central-western region of New South Wales, Australia. Cowra is approximately 310 kilometers west of Sydney and 190 kilometers north of Canberra.
What a great price and a great location, and if you are looking for long term stay, making it a great choice for those looking to stay for an extended period of time.. This is the place, make sure you watch the video to see what long term camping costs. Plus I did a review on the FREE Campsite right near the visitor centre as you can see on the video.
The camping area at Cowra Showgrounds offers large, level sites that come with water and power connections conveniently located right next to the site. The most of the campsites are drive-through bays, which means that campers can easily enter and exit the site with their vehicles.
Additionally, the camping area has clean toilets which was stocked up with hand soap and paper towel, there are only two showers on this site, as well as a reliable source of drinking water. Despite its proximity to the road, the camping area is not noisy, making it a peaceful and comfortable place to stay. The campsite also features a camp kitchen which is not that large as you can see on the video review. The laundry facilities is right near the toilets. With Phone reception please look at the speed test on my video review, and it will tell you how good it is.. Another great feature of the Cowra Showgrounds camping area is that it is dog-friendly, so campers can bring their furry friends along on their camping trip. And if you need to restock your supplies, the town of Cowra is not far away with everything you will need.. This site even has a dump point for the tenants. But there is a free dump point near the Free campsite which you can see in the full video review I did on this site..
Finally, the friendly staff at the camping area make it a welcoming and enjoyable place to stay. Overall, the Cowra Showgrounds camping area is an excellent choice for those looking for a comfortable and convenient camping and long term stay experience in New South Wales. All the information is under the video in the description area on my travel show, due to all of the information would make this post to large..

Cowra Japanese garden
Cowra Japanese Garden commemorates those who died in 1944 when Japanese prisoners of war escaped from a prison camp at Cowra. It was a tragedy that changed the town. The gardens symbolise the reconciliation between Australia and Japan since then.

#canowindra #canowindrahotairballoonchallenge #cowra #visitnsw
This trip which was in April of 2022 was a different one! We went to visit the Canowindra Hot Air Balloon Challenge Festival which is held annually. It is a great trip for the entire family, showcasing all of the colourful enchanting hot air balloons in the sky as well as on the ground at the balloon glow. There are market stalls and live bands which make the festival and amazing event for young and old.
We later saw the hot air balloons in the air the next morning as we drove along the country roads. It was a gorgeous day for a wander around the Cowra Japanese Gardens which were spectacular before we finished the day at the Cowra Nature based adventure playground.
