Bathurst Flagstaff
4.8
5 reviewsAbout
The Bathurst Flagstaff commemorates the proclamation of Bathurst as a settlement by Governor Macquarie on 7 May 1815. Reinstalled on 7 May 2015 as part of Bathurst's Bicentennial Celebrations, the Flagstaff stands as a significant reminder of the city's colonial history.
The flagstaff features the original plaque that was a part of the original flagstaff at the Proclamation Cairn, beneath the flag in the glass pyramid. Around the viewing platform are etched glass panels featuring handprints of local Aboriginal children, Elders and Wiradjuri designs of Girawu (the Tree Goanna) and Biladurang (Platypus) dreaming. At night, the Flagstaff Pyramid is illuminated.
Visit the Bathurst Flagstaff as part of the Macquarie/Wambuul Riverwalk.

Commemorates the site of Governor Macquarie's Flagstaff from which the settlement of Bathurst was surveyed and set out. Surrounded by nice gardens and a picnic area

Nice new addition to the Peace Park area by the River, public bathrooms are tucked underneath and the design and artwork is interesting and shows both indigenous and community collaboration.
