Cowra to Bathurst road trips: Distance, drive time & best attractions
Cowra to Bathurst road trip stops: Carcoar
Much more interesting, however, is Carcoar. Also on the Mid Western Highway, Carcoar happily milks its heritage village status. Kangaroos hang out in the surrounding hills, pretty Carcoar Dam is a popular spot for fishing and water sports and the village itself has a host of quirky little museums. These include the 20th Century Toy Museum and a Hospital Museum.
Carcoar is also at the foot of Mount Macquarie, a 1,220m-high peak that is often snow-capped even when the surrounding area isn’t.
