BEHIND THE WIRE
Cowra Breakout /Cowra POW CAMP
Cowra is a rural-based township in the NSW central west approximately four hours west of Sydney. The Shire completed a history of the district in 1988 titled Cowra on the Lachlan. This publication was a series of essays contributed by local authors on local history, sports, community groups, villages, churches, and local government.
Cowra Council offers excellent career opportunities across a large range of professions and trades.
Cowra Council is now requesting quotes to appoint a Managing Editor to undertake the management and oversight of the Cowra History Book 1988-2018. This project aims not to revise or update Cowra on the Lachlan, but to complement it with a new work that will cover the economic, social, cultural and physical changes to Cowra in the last 30 years.
We offer diverse employment options which could include a position for you that suits your interests, lifestyle and career goals. Current Vacancies
