Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden deep and is not visible, you may need to relocate a few items to locate it.

Cowra is a very historic and beautiful town located in central west NSW.

Cowra Shire area is 2,800 sq km and it is located between the Council areas of Blayney, Cabonne, Forbes, Weddin, Young and Boorowa Shires.

Population was recored as 13,100 in the 2001 census, and is growing.

The landscape varies from river flats to slopes, rolling hills and some rugged wilderness areas. Significant features include the Lachlan River Valley from Wyangala Dam down through the town of Cowra and the rich alluvial areas from the town down to Gooloogong.

The area was originally inhabited by the Wiradjuri people. The first white explorers entered the Lachlan Valley in 1815 (George Evans) and a Military Depot was established not long after at Soldiers Flat near present day Billimari. Settlers appeared to have moved into the Lachlan Valley after 1835 and the township of Cowra had its beginnings in 1840 and the first local government was proclaimed in 1888. The town and district have grown and prospered and significant events such as the construction of Wyangala Dam in the late 1920's and early 1930's, the Military Training Camp and the POW Camp, the migrant camp, the second Wyangala Dam all contributed to Cowra economy where others towns may have struggled.

Cowra has at least 50 different cultures within the community, which is a fine record and proof of the value of regional integration of new cultures into the Australian way of life. Cowra celebrates this cultural diversity with the Annual Festival of International Understanding.

Please take your time and enjoy looking over this beautiful area. There are many other locations in this area that offer a spectacular view of the surrounding landscape, so a short drive around on the hill is well worth the effort.
