Bathurst

Bathurst straddles the Macquarie River in New South Wales’s Central Tablelands, a position that helped make it an early inland service centre west of the Blue Mountains. On Wiradjuri Country, the city was founded by British colonists in 1815 and is recognised as Australia’s oldest inland European settlement. Mount Panorama, on Bathurst’s southern edge, is home to the Mount Panorama Circuit and the annual Bathurst 1000 touring-car race. The Australian Fossil and Mineral Museum brings another perspective on the region’s geology. See how Bathurst fits within the Central Tablelands by browsing webcams nearby.
