The Story of Bathurst

Discover the Story of Bathurst, a self-guided heritage experience comprising 14 interpretive panels along the Robin McLachlan Heritage Walk.

Located around the Bathurst Town Square, the experience explores Wiradjuri heritage, the Bathurst War of Resistance, European settlement, agriculture, gold, bushrangers, transport, education, industry, motorsport, Ben Chifley and Bathurst's development as a modern regional city.

What makes the experience distinctive is that the story unfolds where much of the history happened. Visitors experience Bathurst's streets, buildings and landmarks as a living heritage setting rather than encountering the story only inside a museum.
