As we sat down at our table, our hostess, told us how Carcoar was named. "Two crows flew over in search of food. One said "Car" and the other said "Coar". (In fact, Carcoar is a Gundungura word meaning either frog or kookaburra).
Carcoar looked like a movie set the day we visited. Not a soul to be seen. Heritage protected buildings line the streets, still carrying signs: City Bank" School of Arts" "Courthouse" etc...
Opposite the Carcoar Courthouse, stands the the Bridge Tea Rooms. Inside we were surprised to find an "Alice"serving tea and scones and pumpkin soup in this "Wonderland" of second-hand dresses, and pre-loved dolls and toys.
