Bathurst Holidays Overview
Bathurst is located only two and a half hours from Sydney and is a great place to visit. It combines the best of town and country lifestyles. A relaxed pace of life and warm friendly people, Bathurst is a vibrant community. Experience the beauty of Bathurst through four distinct seasons. See the changes with beautiful flowers in spring, occasional snow in winter and the changing colours of the leaves in autumn.
As the oldest inland settlement, Bathurst has seen many significant moments in history. Initially declared a townsite in 1815 and then a city in 1885, Bathurst became an important regional centre and gateway to inland New South Wales. The discovery of gold in 1851 escalated a strong growth in the region and today it has a rich historical culture.
The streets of Bathurst are lined with wonderful monuments, impressive buildings interspersed with beautiful parks each reflecting a part of the history of the city. Explore the streets on foot to uncover the marvellous features of Bathurst.
