Sun 23 Feb 2025

, nestled at 16 Stanley Street just a hop away from the low-level bridge, is like a time capsule for early Aussie architecture. It's been busy showing off its stuff as a museum since 1965, putting on display all sorts of treasures related to Bathurst's history. You'll find a collection of local artworks and a charming array of everyday items from the past that make you wonder how people managed without smartphones.

And let's not forget the garden, which is packed with heritage plants, a sprinkling of farm equipment, and an original baker's oven that might just inspire you to whip up a batch of scones (or at least admire them from a distance). It'll only cost you a few bucks, so it's a bit of an antique bargain day out. Mark your calendars for Sunday 23 February 2025 from noon to four because who doesn't want to bask in the glory of history for a couple of hours?
