Get ready to be charmed

Bathurst may be the heartland of motor racing in Australia, but the famed Mount Panorama/Wahluu circuit isn’t the only drawcard of this thriving regional centre. A rich goldfields history, a number of kid-friendly museums, spectacular limestone caves, plenty of fabulous food and wine experiences, and a year-long program of events and festivals (including the crowd-drawing Bathurst 1000 and Bathurst 12 Hour) make this Central Tablelands town a must-see.
