Katoomba - Cowra

On Sunday we travelled to Cowra. Cowra is a town in the Central West region of New South Wales in the Cowra Shire. It is located on the Mid-Western Highway, 317 kilometres west of Sydney on the banks of the Lachlan River at an altitude of 310 metres above sea level. At the 2011 census Cowra had a population of 12,147 people. Cowra is 201 kms from Katoomba, travelling through Blayney which my father always said it was the coldest place in Australia. We also passed a wind farm with several large structures in the distance. We booked into a small caravan park just 3kms out of Cowra. The whole park was set up by a railway buff as it has several items & some railway tracks around the park. This is where we joined The Family Friendly Parks Assn - $40 for two years. As we had already spent time in Dubbo at one, we have saved money at $27 per night.
