Canowindra is a historic town located in the Central West region of New South Wales, Australia. The town, whose name is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning "home" or "camping place," has a rich history dating back to the 1840s.
Canowindra is particularly notable for its significant paleontological heritage, being the site of one of the world's most important fossil discoveries. In 1955, a remarkable collection of Devonian-period fish fossils was uncovered here, leading to the establishment of the Age of Fishes Museum. The town also maintains its 19th-century character through its heritage architecture, particularly along the curved main street, Gaskill Street, which features several well-preserved Victorian-era buildings.
Besides its historical significance, Canowindra has developed a reputation as a center for hot air ballooning, hosting various ballooning events throughout the year. The town's cultural landscape is complemented by local art galleries, wineries, and museums that reflect both its natural heritage and contemporary rural Australian life.
