Mandurama is a small town in New South Wales, Australia in Blayney Shire. It is 263 kilometres west of Sydney and 59 kilometres southwest of Bathurst and rests quietly 7 kilometres west of Carcoar on the Mid-Western Highway. Beginning in the 19th Century as a privately owned village for the workers of Thomas Icely's Coombing Park, it was then developed as a service centre for the surrounding farmlands. The town is small but it still is home to a few working shops, a service station and a few older buildings such as the hotel, general store, churches, two former bank premises and the Lincoln theatre. It was home to the famous, Mandurama Collection, now housed at the National Library of Australia.
