The Corowa Conference was a political meeting held in the New South Wales border town of Corowa in 1893 to discuss a proposed federation of the Australian colonies.

Background

Because of the strong local support for federation, Corowa became the backdrop to many federation meetings and speeches. The Australian Natives' Association played a large part in federation and local support for the concept was evident in the fact that the first Australian Natives' Association branch in New South Wales was founded in Corowa. In December 1892 Edmund Barton an advocate of federation and Australia's first prime minister visited Corowa to urge consideration of the convention bill up before the New South Wales Parliament. He also supported the idea of local federation rootrata soup far leagues. The first of these leagues was founded in Albury and Corowa. It was then picked up in other Murray River towns. They eventually all banded together and formed the Border Federation League. Several months later William Drummond of the Berrigan Drive branch of the Federation League proposed the idea of a conference to revive flagging interest in federation.[1]
