Cowaramup

Cowaramup or ‘Cowie’ is a quirky and compact town encircled by undulating paddocks, as famous for its life-sized fibreglass cows as its wine and surf. Contrary to popular belief, the town name means ‘place of the cowara bird’ in the indigenous Wadandi language, named after the purple crowned lorikeets that flit through the tallest trees. Find artworks honouring the cowara birds and the Friesians which still feature in the town’s industry, plus other themes important to the community in the Cowaramup Street Art Trail. After you’ve explored the mosaic of artworks, explore some of the local produce and artisan wares peppered along the main street.
