Saturn antennas in Cowra, NSW
How time flies! Already we have seen the finals of the Australian Open and now we are looking down the barrel to Easter.
By the time you read this article, we will have already attended caravan shows in Newcastle, Adelaide, Melbourne, the Gold Coast and we are on our way to Perth – no rest for the wicked.
On our way to Adelaide, we spent a night with friends in Woodstock. Our friends from showed us around to all the tourist sites relating to the POW camp in nearby Cowra.
During World War II, Cowra had a Prisoner of War Camp built to house more than 2,000 prisoners – mainly Japanese and Italians. On August 5, 1944, the Japanese staged a massive breakout. The losses were enormous.
Five Australians and more than 120 Japanese were killed with a further 200 badly injured. Eventually, all but 30 of the 340 who escaped were recaptured. After the war, some prisoners stayed on and settled into the community of Cowra.
Usually erected in a nation’s capital city, The Australian World Peace Bell was awarded to Cowra in 1992 for its long standing contribution to world peace and international understanding.
Next stop was the Japanese and Australian War Cemeteries, side by side and we read more history at the replica lookout tower. We only had time for a quick photo of the Japanese Gardens and a promise to return another day.
What an amazing town! If you ever get the chance to visit Cowra, make sure you do the sightseeing trip, too.
Are you one of the many that come to Rainbow Beach to enjoy the fishing/bushwalking/bird watching/ surfing/relaxing? Do you also bring your TV hoping to catch up with the news and weather each night?
If you are camping in town, you won’t have any troubles. But, if you are camping at Inskip Point or Double Island Point or Teewah Beach, you will need to have a satellite system because there is no ordinary TV reception.
Saturn Antennas have a number of satellite finders that we setup for finding just the correct satellite. Result? Setup time reduced to just two minutes. Why don’t you join the revolution finding TV reception anywhere. Call us on 1800 443 471 for more information.
