The hologram presentation of the Cowra breakout kept all in our group aged from 5 - 66 enthralled. Lots of info. presented in a visually gripping way. Inspired us to do the trek through where the camp was - even though it was raining1
The centre has a great POW Theatre but best of all is the Cowra Rose Garden at the front - Great to have the names of each rose on clearly marked plaques.
The COWRA Visitor Centre complex is attractive with coffee shop, rose garden, information centre/gift shop, and the hologram woman presentation on the COWRA breakout. We've seen the presentation a couple of times and found it very interesting. Staff is kowledgeable, and can answer most questions.
The presentation was short, precise and full of information, given in a "chatty" way by the hologram portraying a local Cowra girl waiting for her fiancée to come back from the war. It ran for 9 minutes and kept you captivated. After viewing, we felt that seeing the POW Camp site first was an advantage.
The staff who were there this time were so very helpful with the information I was seeking about the Migrant camp. They also have a brilliant hologram film on the Japanese POW camp and breakout. So very worth a visit.
The visitor's centre has a hologram presentation which gives a brief summary of the famous POW breakout. It is only 9 minutes long, and gives a good, quick background.
Stopped to get some local info and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The hologram presentation was Fantastic and we learnt a lot about Cowra and there history. They even helped us with Information about were we are heading next.
This was a very well presented depiction of the story relating the famous breakout of prisoners from the POW camp. It should not be missed as it forms the historical background of the relationship between Australia and Japan, especially in Cowra. There was no charge, but a donation was requested.
Very comprehensive visitors centre with very helpful staff. WE needed a simple map and staff went to great lengths to find a free one.Don't miss the Cowra Breakout show.
Staff very knowlagable on cowra and surrounds. Talk to the abou your needs and they can point you in the right direction. You must view the animated video, it's priceless.
