Canowindra - NSW RVFT
Canowindra is located in the central west of New South Wales, 317 kilometres west of Sydney. The town’s curved main street is a resemblance of yesteryear, with its 19th century architecture and heritage listed buildings. What was once a township serving the local farming community, Canowindra is now popular for its thriving art scene and galleries, boutique shops, local wineries and fine food. The crisp, still air of Canowindra offers ideal conditions for hot air ballooning, earning it the title of ‘Hot Air Ballooning Capital of Australia’, and is the home of the Canowindra Balloon Challenge held annually. Canowindra received worldwide attention in 1955 when a 360 million year old fossil was discovered by a road worker. Visitors can view this and other fish fossils at The Age of Fishes Museum, which also contains the Visitor Information Centre.Canowindra Showground offers parking for up to 72 hours at low cost. Amenities are available if required, and pets are permitted on leads. A dump point and potable water are accessible at the Canowindra Caravan Park.Canowindra is a wonderful place to visit, especially for RV Travellers.
