Bathurst certainly delivers joy for any transport lovers with the National Motoring Museum and the Bathurst Rail Museum within a short drive of each other. We visited both museums in one day and enjoyed learning more about how the railway line to …
BATHURST ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND – ALL ABILITIES PLAYGROUND
My passion for inclusive play has me detouring to see playgrounds here and overseas despite BJ no longer being interested. Given there were no accessible playgrounds around when BJ was little, it's still a novelty to see what is being built. We …
