in 2015 there is much that we have to celebrate and the autumn Colours Program showcases the incredible diversity of events, activities and attractions of the Bathurst region when it is at its most beautiful.

Bathurst is a great place to visit all year round but in autumn there is a special air about the region as the yellow, red and orange leaves turn on their spectacular colour providing a beautiful backdrop to our stunning heritage city and villages.

While the autumn Colours program runs from march to end of may the highlight of the events will be the Bathurst200 heritage Week may 2-10 which is a feature week of celebrations focused around the 200th anniversary of the Proclamation of Bathurst by Governor Lachlan macquarie as australia’s first inland settlement.

the Bathurst200 heritage Week includes outdoor art installations, fashion exhibitions, colonial fair and a spectacular illumination and street festival on saturday 9 may. the presentation of the inaugural Bathurst macquarie heritage medal during this week will focus national attention on our city’s role in promoting natural, built, cultural and australia’s social heritage.

the diversity of what we offer as a visitor experience in the Bathurst region provides something for everyone whether you are into food and wine, outdoor adventures, history and heritage or our unique motor racing heritage, there is an event or activity to surprise you.

i welcome visitors to Bathurst during this magical season and look forward to sharing in some of the hundreds of events on offer with our community and visiting friends alike.

You can keep up to date with all our bicentenary events and celebration on the bathurst200.com.au website or follow us on facebook and instagram to be sure you don’t miss out on any of this very special year.
