Bathurst Excursion



We are having an amazing time in Bathurst. Our days have been full of fun and adventure.



So far we have -


Visited the beautiful Abercrombie House on Ophir Rd and had a house and garden tour with Christopher and Xanthe




Learnt about life on the goldfields with Barry, Laurie and Karen. We pitched tents, had a go at tug o war, made damper on a stick, learnt about the history of gold in the region and tried our patience at gold panning and struck it LUCKY finding alluvial gold ! Watch out, this panning is addictive, may may not head back home to Scone in a hurry...


We checked out the history of motor racing and watched a movie at the museum and then walked through looking at several cars and motor bikes that have featured on the track over the years


We even lapped around Mt Panorama race track in the bus and then we had a guided trip around Bathurst taking in the many historical sites and features of the city.



Our adventure continues tomorrow, stay tuned!!
