Bathurst

Well what can I say, we only drove 45kms from Oberon and saw vans parked in the showground so decided to stay a couple of days.  Even had the entertainment of a trotting meeting on our first night.

Bathurst Court House built 1886

Railway Station built 1872

sunset at Bathurst, obviously under flight paths

1st race at the weekly trotting meeting

 

and of course where else must you go in Bathurst????

and yes the road really does drop away in the esses

 

then there is the Motor Racing Museum at the entrance to the raceway

where the King of the Mountain is honoured in bronze

 

and inside there is a whole area dedicated to Peter Brock

 

then you could imagine what it would be like doing laps in these 

 

but then there are lots of more modern vehicles as well as motor bikes and open wheelers

 

fabulous place to visit and easy to spend a couple of hours there
