Over the years I have spent time working in and around the Bathurst area, it is as beautiful now as it was in my memories. We visited Panthers Leagues club and had a fantastic time while we also visited the Motor Museum (which is something I had on my bucket list) Highly recommended while the rest of the time was either spent relaxing or driving around all of the historical sites. The only gripe I had was while we were parked at the museum someone run into the side of our car causing over $2000 damage and did a runner without leaving any details

Love Bathurst. Its a great sized town for a short break. I would recommend Legalls French patisserie for a light meal. Also Dogwood Bx for the most amazing southern American food. I have been there multiple times and it never disappoints.

Plenty of shops. Check out the Bar B at the Oxford Hotel - brilliant food and staff were terrific. All the normal fast food outlets were in close range. Other than the wedding we attended - the highlight was doing a lap of Mount Panorama! However beware - DO NOT speed, there are police there waiting to catch anyone who think they are part of the Bathurst 1000 crowd! AMAZING gardens to walk through and some of the buildings are lovely to look at. Early April is FREEZING!! So pack for winter and be prepared for severe cold winds.

There is so much history to see in Bathurst and surrounds. A good central point to see Trunkey Creek, Sofala, Hill End, the Upper Turon - all an easy day trip from Bathurst but if you are in to history, make it a day for each :-)

We both loved the history of Bathurst. The buildings and houses were so gorgeous. The library had pamphlets and maps for self guided walks. The Regional Art Gallery had a high quality show of Wendy Sharpe and Steven Cavanagh. It was excellent. Macchattie park gorgeous with the Begonia House and the amazing flowers. River walk was very relaxing. Delicious food at cafes. Hotels served well presented pub food. We played golf and the staff were friendly and the course in great condition. Of course visits to the Railway precinct and Mount Panarama a must. A visit to Mayfield Gardens on the way to Bathurst highly recommended. My biggest wish is that a large hotel is built in the town. Most Accomadation is on the way in or out. Bathurst is a destination not just s stopover.

I love Bathurst, I originally lived in the Southern Highlands, I have since moved up here to be with my partner. I would not be able to go back to living in the Southern Highlands after living here. People`s attitudes are completely different, almost reminds me of the true Aussie spirit. People are generally welcoming, friendly & always willing to lend a hand if need be. There are plenty of shops around, not a great deal of fast food chains (eg. Maccas, KFC etc), more pubs, fresh food places, takeaway places etc. Easy to navigate, that`s coming from someone who is hopeless with directions. There`s always plenty to do, you can grab lunch, take a drive & check out Mount Panorama, the viewing platform offers fantastic views. There are plenty of parks around, there are walking trails, some of them are a little bit of a drive but well worth exploring. There are historical places to visit, there is also the Fossil & Mineral Museum, never nothing to do. There is also markets at Tarana, the fair comes to Bathurst fairly often, plenty of old school cars get around & have car shows often. It is generally a whole different way of living out here, couldn`t speak any higher of Bathurst.
