Boorowa Information

This event takes place on the Sunday of the October long weekend and celebrates Boorowa’s Irish Heritage and is fun for all the family.

Located on the Lachlan Valley Way only an hour and a quarter North of Canberra and three and a half hours from Sydney, Boorowa is a vibrant country

town. Boorowa's wide main street is reminiscent of a bygone era with beautiful old world lighting, exquisite paving and spectacular roses. Immerse

yourself in Boorowa’s heritage by following the shamrocks on the Shamrock Trail where each building on the map is depicted with a brass plaque and an

duck pond is one of the three places in the world with a water jet the other two are Canberra and Geneva.

Many shops are retained in their original state as they were in the days of the emporium. St Patrick’s Catholic Church resembles a miniature cathedral with

its Italian marble and stunning stained glass windows one of which is dedicated to the Irish Liberator Daniel O’Connell. Visit our excellent galleries, with

paintings, art & craft and collectibles for that perfect gift with the country flavour. Visit Frogmore where Sarah Jane Country Crafts and the Spring Valley

Farm which grows stunning flowers have their home or take a drive to Rugby, Reids Flat and Rye Park, the home of the Old School Retreat.
