Corowa is a town located in the southern part of New South Wales, in its Riverina Region. Located on the banks of the Murray River, it is opposite the town of Wahgunyah, in Victoria. There are two possible sources of the place-name, either from the Aboriginal word `currawa,' which means `rocky river,' or the town's name was alluded to the curra pine trees that were once numerous in the area.

The river provides a setting for several recreational activities by locals and visitors. Families and groups of friends come to the banks to swim, water ski, and go boating.

Non-locals can hire mountain bikes at the visitors' information center on Sanger Street, to take advantage of several biking trails found near the river. Read more...
