Carcoar
Carcoar village is set in a dell by the oak-lined banks of the Belubula River With steep hills surrounding it Carcoar is a village of untouched 19th century charm, that feels like a traditional English village.
The town has been classified by the National Trust due to the number of intact 19th-century buildings which have only been preserved and restored - there has been no reconstruction or replication.
The Mid Western highway bypass overlooks the village but many people are drawn in to the delightful village which is the third oldest town west of the Blue Mountains. The first daylight bank hold-up in Australia was at the Commercial Bank in 1863.
Carcoar Dam is approx 7 km out of town where waterski-ing, swimming, fishing, windsurfing and sailing are popular. Camping, picnic and barbecue facilities are available.
