Carcoar is small historic town of 270 (2021) in the Central West region of New South Wales. It's often said to be "lost to time" as many of the 19th-century buildings still dominate the town's architecture. It's also the state's third oldest settlement west of the Great Dividing Range.

The remnants of what was once an early colonial hotel, which opened in 1861. Today, the museum houses many historic medical items.
A railway station that sits on the now-disused Blayney–Demondrille Railway Line. Passenger services ceased along the line in 1974, while a burnt bridge, declining freight volumes and flooding progressively also closed the line down for freight in 2012. The station is still preserved and free to explore, however.
The former town school of arts which opened in 1901. Today it serves as a community centre with the Carmenhurst Military Museum. Be warned the building is in somewhat a state of disrepair.
