Wattamondara

Scattered around a gently sloping hillside between the railway line and Olympic Highway located approximately 14 kilometres south of Cowra, the village of Wattamondara is well known amongst horse enthusiasts for its popular annual events held at the Wattamondara Showground.

In the 1840's Wattamondara (originally known as Wattamdara) was a 23,000 acre station which went on to become one of the busiest stations on the Cowra-Harden railway line with a butcher, baker, blacksmith and market garden supporting the village. With the closure of the railway line the village services ceased but now it attracts new residents with the lure of the rural lifestyle.
