BOOROWA

The Country Experience

Right on Canberra's doorstep, the historic town of Boorowa offers it all: a rich legacy of colonial buildings, a cheery welcome from the locals and the perfume of roses in the air.

Some things never change.  Generations have chatted under the main street verandahs, knelt beneath the rich hues of stained glass windows and shared warm country-style hospitality.

But sometimes the changes are as exciting as the traditions.  Visitors love to check out daily specials at Boorowa's eateries, snap up home-grown arts and crafts and rejoice in the changing seasons.

People who discover Boorowa keep coming back.  They know just why so many early Irish settlers chose to call the town "home". And they soon find that part of the town's charm is its continuing Irish connections. Each October the people of Boorowa celebrate their heritage with the Irish Woolfest and the Running of the Sheep.

Step from our front door and follow the historic Shamrock Trails or wander around the corner to enjoy the River Walk. A short stroll and you are in the midst of restaurants, shops and galleries with a wide range of arts and crafts.

We look forward to welcoming you to Henwood House .. and to Boorowa.
