Bathurst will celebrate its position as Australia’s oldest European inland settlement this autumn with the ‘Autumn Colours Heritage Festival’, the highly anticipated return of the Bathurst Heritage Trades trail on 15-16 April, the Festival of Bells on 28-29 April and an extended Heritage Week period from 30 April – 8 May culminating with Proclamation Day.
This year’s program includes such diverse activities as walking tours of Rockley or the St Joseph’s convent at Perthville, tours of the Bathurst War Memorial Carillon or the Bathurst Pit Complex, delving into the diverse events that have shaped life on Keppel Street or a Sunday drive to Mount David Village.
The program of all heritage tours and activities is now available online and as a printed booklet from the Bathurst Visitor Information Centre and select Bathurst retailers.
