Step back in time A great way to experience Boorowa is to follow the Shamrock Trails. Discover now. Boorowa Highlights. Boorowa is world-renowned for its fine Merino wool. Creating a Wool Week event in the late s seemed like a great way…. Food and drink. With a colourful Irish heritage, wide open landscapes on the Boorowa River, a long tradition of pastoral activity, a vibrant township and pure country charm, Boorowa is an early Australian country town located just seventy minutes north-west of Canberra.
The first Europeans to settle in the district, they invited friends and family to make a new life in the region. The two took prominent roles in the settlement and growth of the town. This proud Irish heritage, which brings many travellers from the homeland, comes to the fore at the annual Irish Woolfest. Just wondering if your town has a rest stop area or park with public toilets for morning tea on our travel.
Annie mother was aboriginal, I assume she was from burrowa. Thank you. Like Tracy Hyatt I am interested in Coffey names. My maternal great-grandfather was Tim Coffey, a publican in Crookwell, but born and raised in Boorowa. Trove has a news item about him being charged falsely with assault in Boorowa.
She believes that one of the family was postmaster in Boorowa in WW1 and that his returned son died in Boorowa. It is considered most unlikely that there are any Gibson descendants ever in Boorowa but if this not the case it would be good to find out.
Thank you for this information about Boorowa. We decided to visit this town the first day we were allowed to travel again regional area to regional area, October, The Visitors Information Centre in the old Courthouse building told us that they no longer have the Shamrock Trails brochures, but there is an abbreviated walk to follow in a larger booklet.
Perhaps you could put more info on your page, as I think that you were assuming that the Trail leaflets would still be available. Location Boorowa is located south-west of Sydney and can be reached either via Goulburn and Yass a distance of km via the Hume Highway or via Bathurst and Cowra a distance of km. Got something to add? Have we missed something or got a top tip for this town?
