Take a tranquil walk through Cowra's Japanese Garden

Visitor come from far and wide to take in the calming beauty of cherry blossoms, and locum tenens in Australia will want to take time to celebrate this beloved flower in Cowra, NSW during the Cherry Blossom Festival at Cowra's Japanese Garden.

For U.S. locums and their families who enjoy Washington, D.C.'s famous cherry blossom trees, you'll love the city of Cowra's Australian garden, who'll host its annual Sakura Matsuri, or Cherry Blossom Festival.

In addition to marveling at the tranquility you experience in a sea of cherry blossom trees, your entire family will be able to take part in a day of festivities. Sip sake, learn origami and watch sumo wrestlers compete and you'll feel like you've been transported to Japan.

While at this celebration of Japanese culture, you will also have an opportunity to acquire skills in different artistic areas, such as calligraphy and Ikebana, or flower arranging. Beyond the festivities, you will explore other landscapes, including lush gardens, that are meant to invoke the island country's landscapes.
