Australia's World Peace Bell

Overview

The Australian World Peace Bell was awarded to Cowra in 1992 for its long standing contribution to world peace and international understanding.

Capital cities usually reserve the right to erect the World Peace Bell, however Cowra's committment to the World Peace Bell's objectives has meant Cowra was awarded the honour.

The Bell is made of coins provided by 103 member countries of the United Nations, which were melted down and cast into the Bell.

The Cowra Civic Square now proudly houses the Bell.

The Pavillion is decorated with pottery tiles reflecting the community's ideas about the World Peace Bell and its association with Cowra.

An audio presentation explains the significance of the bell and its association with Cowra.

A ceremony is held on World Peace Day - 3rd Tuesday in September - to mark the opening of the Disarmament at the United Nations.
