Bathurst
is one of Australia's oldest inland cities built at a site personally chosen
by Governor Macquarie in 1815. In 1851 it was the scene of Australia's first
goldrush and many fine buildings remain, a legacy of the era. The Victorian
Renaissance court house with a double story portico and large octagonal central
dome is now home to the Bathurst Tourist Centre which has a fine collection
of pictures from the gold rush.
Governor Macquarie crossed the Blue Mountains in 1815 to personally select the site for Australia’s oldest inland city. Finest of several grand buildings is the Victorian Renaissance court house with its double storey portico and large octagonal central dome and outlook on to Kings square.
| A wing of Government House, built in 1817 by Macquarie is still standing and the home of Ben Chiffley a former Prime Minister is preserved as a national memorial. The Bathurst Regional Art Gallery has a notable collection of work by Lloyd Rees. |
