Nestled in regional NSW, Bathurst is a delightful slice of countryside bliss in the heart of the Central West. Without doubt, motorsport racing has become synonymous with the charming city thanks to the iconic Bathurst 1000. But linger a little longer and you’ll discover there’s more to Bathurst than meets the eye.
The charming, gold-rush town of Bathurst is the perfect destination for a family holiday or romantic getaway. With so many delightful ways to spend your time, you can easily fill a week by hopping about the region’s wineries and distillery doors and exploring the region’s natural beauty, like nearby Mayfield Garden in Oberon.
It wouldn’t be a visit to Bathurst without a day at Mount Panorama. Revheads should time their stay with the annual Bathurst 1000. If that’s not really your speed, pop into the National Motor Racing Museum or drive on the scenic Mount Panorama track (which is actually a public road).
History buffs should head to nearby towns like Sofala, where the region’s gold-rush roots still remain. The Bathurst Goldfields is a reconstruction of a gold mining village and Tambaroora Creek is great for fossicking.
