"If you're driving and can only try a small sample of Cowra's best, make sure you visit Windowrie Estate, one of the largest producers in the area. The cellar door forms part of an old flour mill that was built in 1861 from local granite and has been painstakingly restored. It's a fine addition to the heritage of the area." Open Road Magazine July August 2007

History of The Mill

‘Old’
Built by brothers Walsh, The Mill was opened on February 13 1861 to local enthusiasm. The Mill operated until 1905 producing Golden Spray brand local flour, it then lay vacant for over 90 years.

‘New’
In 1995 the O’Dea family of Windowrie purchased and renovated the empty shell. An important aspect of the rejuvenation was the use of 80% recycled materials from such varied sources as train carriages, cattle yards, bulldozers, demolished houses and part of Sydney’s Kingsford Smith ng.Airport. Take the time and enjoy the free audio tour of this magnificent building.
