COWRA VISITOR INFORMATION CENTRE…
The Cowra Visitor Information Centre is an essential first stop for visitors to the Cowra region. Our centre is home to ‘Claire’ the local girl who tells her personal account of the Cowra Breakout through a fascinating hologram presentation. The hologram is a free theatre and continues to be as popular as ever with the 60,000 plus visitors our friendly team welcome each year.
Our centre is your one stop shop for local & regional information, maps, local produce, craft and stocks a variety of Cowra region wine. Why not select a bottle of award winning wine and some local produce to enjoy during your stay or better still, allow us to customise a hamper of local produce for you to enjoy during your stay.
The Cowra Visitor Information Centre is open from 9am - 5pm / 7 days a week every day of the year (except Christmas Day)
Allow us to help you make the most of your stay in our lovely region.
P.O.W HOLOGRAM THEATRE
The P.O.W. Theatre is a 9 minute hologram that recounts the tragic story of the Cowra Breakout in 1944. The theatre is housed in a small tin replica of a hut found at the Cowra Prisoner of War Camp during World War II. The hologram tells the story of the Cowra Breakout through the eyes of Claire, a young Cowra local. The presentation is aimed at raising awareness of the historical significance of Cowra in modern military history and to encourage visitation to other local attractions and locations of historical importance.
This is a 'must see' for all visitors to the town. When the American travel writer Bill Bryson visited the town he watched the presentation three times!
The famous POW Hologram Theatre is the best place to start your historical journey through the Cowra region.
