Woodstock, New South Wales

Woodstock is a village in the central west of New South Wales, Australia, 21 kilometres (13 mi) north east of Cowra.

It contains remains of a brief goldrush during the late 19th century which left behind a number of substantial buildings before the village relapsed into relative isolation.

The village of Woodstock was established in response to the building of the railway line north of Woods Flat, from Blayney to Cowra in 1880s.

At one time there were several sidings near the station with grain silos, stock yards, loading bank, goods shed, hay stage, and loco platform.

By 1900 there were many commercial businesses in the villages including butchers, bakers, hotels, saddleries, smithies, bootmakers, mercers, tailors, motor vehicle garages and billiard rooms.
