With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Cowra, 40 miles away, has to offer. Cowra Japanese Garden, Japanese Gardens and Cowra Rose Garden alone make the drive out here worthwhile. The locals will also probably point you in the direction of Parkes, 50 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Parkes Golf Club. (But we’d also highly recommend Memorial Hill Lookout and Cooke Park.)
