Boorowa
Small service town on the edge of the Southern Tablelands
Boorowa is located on the edge of the Southern Tablelands
and can be reached either via Bathurst and Cowra (a distance
of 388 km via the Great Western and Mid Western Highways) or
Goulburn and Yass (a distance of 338 km via the Hume
Highway).
The town is surrounded by rich pasturelands and has been
a centre for wool and wheat production since it was first
settled by Europeans in the 1840s.
The town came into existence in 1850. No one knows
exactly where the name comes from but it is thought to be a
Wiradjuri word for 'turkey'. The Wiradjuri lived and moved
through the area prior to European settlement.

| The Boorowa Hotel
|
In the 1860s it became infamous as part of the area where
the bushranger Ben Hall and his gang went on a robbing
spree. Hall and his gang ranged from Young (Lambing Flats)
across to Jugiong and Gundagai. At the time the town was
known as Burrowa.
Today the town is a quiet rural community which, because
it is not on a main road, has a special kind of untouched
olde world charm.
Things to see:
Court House
Located on the corner of Marsden and Queen Streets in
Boorowa this symmetrical building was designed by the
Colonial Architect and completed in 1884. It has a
distinctive double-height court room and Roman arches. It is
an imposing and vital element in Boorowa's main street.

St Patricks Catholic Church
This was the first Roman Catholic Church to be built west of

particular interest are the church's excellent stained glass

Italian marble.
