Corowa

Welcome to Corowa!

Corowa is a border town between New South Wales and Victoria. Located on the Murray River Lake Mulwala and the Rutherglen Wine Regions are dominant features for the local area. The district has long been a producer of wool, wine grapes, timber and gold mining.

Corowa is a town in the state of New South Wales in Australia. It is on the bank of the Murray River, the border between New South Wales and Victoria, opposite the Victorian town of Wahgunyah. It is the largest town in the Federation Council and was the administrative centre of the former Corowa Shire. The name could have derived from an Aboriginal word referring to the curra pine which yielded gum used by Aboriginal people to fasten the heads of spears to the shafts. Another translation is "rocky river".There are two bridges over the Murray to Wahgunyah in Victoria: the heritage-listed John Foord Bridge and the Federation Bridge (opened on 2 April 2005). The town in conjunction with nearby town Rutherglen has an Australian Rules football team (Corowa-Rutherglen) competing in the Ovens & Murray Football League.

Corowa Cougars compete in the Murray Cup rugby league competition.
