Cowra Breakout
Cowra is about 2hrs 40 mins by car from Ganmain. So it took me about 4 hrs by Blitz. Fairly flat country so a good run for the truck.
I have relatives in Cowra so I grew up knowing the event fairly well. It was terrifying for the locals at the time. Interestingly, the Camp also held a large amount of Italian POW's who worked on the farms around the district. The camp gates were opened in the morning, the Italians marched out. The gates were opened in the evening and every single Italian marched back in to the camp.
