Visiting Cowra

We had planned for some months to visit the backblocks of New South Wales with the Inchleys so we met at Cowra and camped out of town at the Wyangala Dam and used it as our base.
One of the main attractions at Cowra is the Japanese Garden presented to town by the Japanese Government in commemoration of the Prisoner of War Camp that held many captured Japanese during WW2.
The town also holds Australia's World Peace Bell.  It weighs over 400 kg and is made from coins contributed from all the participating nations.
