Bathurst: The Racing, the Rush and the Bathurst Relics

Bathurst is the perfect option for campervan holiday makers wishing to see the New South wales countryside without venturing too far away from Sydney. Its only a 207 kilometre drive inland- a drive that takes you through the Blue Mountains and past some spectacular feature. Along the way you can allow yourself to be side tracked to some of the states most impressive views, including Echo Point, the Three Sisters and Evans Lookout. Once in Bathurst you cannot help but be charmed by its range of historical attractions or impressed by its sporting significance and heritage. Its a great base from which to explore countless surrounding attractions in your motorhome, and the friendly country folk are sure to make you feel welcome.

With a growing population of over thirty thousand people, Bathurst is an important regional and administrative centre. Being Australia's oldest inland city, this isnt exactly a new phenomena - Bathurst has been a pretty important spot since the first settlers made their way over the Blue Mountains and made themselves at home on the banks of the Macquaire River in the 1820's. As you'd expect from a place with such a rich history, there are plenty of heritage buildings that attract a lot of interest from tourists, and if youre into fine architecture indulging in the past, then give them a look.
