Everyone drives the mount, but did you know there is a great boardwalk at the top? There’s also a fenced kids playground and plenty of open space at the top of Wahluu. It’s a great place to see the whole of Bathurst from above (and get a selfie while you’re there).
There are often Police patrolling the track, looking for speedsters.

Best steak in the region (in my opinion). Matt Moran’s pub in Rockley is a lovely 25 minute drive away. All the food is good, as are the wines.

Historic gold mining town. You will feel like you’re in another time when you visit. We recommend having a drink at the pub in the early afternoon and watching the locals arrive from about 3pm.

Winter in Bathurst is brrrrrrrr
Throughout Winter, and even late Autumn and early Spring mornings Bathurst can be quite cold. Bring you parka, jacket, scarf and boots. In the middle of Winter, think about bringing a beanie. It’s rarely humid here so it feels colder than the coast.
