Bathurst is located on the Macquarie River 207 km west of Sydney via the Great Western Highway and 670 m above sea-level. Australia's oldest inland city, it has many fine historic buildings. Gregory Blaxland, William Wentworth and William Lawson became the first Europeans to find a way across the Blue Mountains in May 1813 which resulted in settlement beyond the Cumberland Plains. However, it was surveyor George Evans who crossed the main range later that year. During the trek he camped on the future townsite of Bathurst and made a favourable report of the country he saw. Evans named the Macquarie River after Governor Lachlan Macquarie and the Bathurst Plains after Lord Bathurst, the British secretary of state for the colonies. By January 1815 William Cox had completed the considerable feat of building a road over the mountains and in April Governor Macquarie traversed this new route. When he reached the road-building party's depot on the west bank of the Macquarie River he proclaimed it 'a site for the erection of a town at some future period' which was to be named Bathurst. Later that year a government domain, consisting solely of troopers, government personnel and convict labourers, was established. Surrounded by a large government stock reserve, it was used as the launching pad for explorations of the interior by Evans in 1815, John Oxley in 1816, Allan Cunningham in 1823 and Charles Sturt in 1828. In 1832 Thomas Mitchell discovered the Victoria Pass and a much improved route across the mountains was quickly established. Consequently Governor Bourke decided to open up the government reserve at Bathurst to the public. It was surveyed and land sales proceeded in 1833. This new settlement soon became the centre of a major pastoral area and a regular coach service from Sydney had been established by 1835. The depression of the 1840s forestalled expansion but, in 1851, the first payable gold in the country was found at nearby Ophir. This sparked a remarkable gold rush which transformed the entire colony. Due to its location and its early establishment Bathurst was greatly affected. It became a commercial centre for those en route to the diggings and the town's population doubled in the course of the 1850s to over 4000. There were some 3 A Better Life BathurstWe Live in Bathurst You Can too 50 grog shops in operation by 1860. Two years later Bathurst became a municipality. That same year the Cobb & Co coach company expanded its operations from Victoria to NSW, making Bathurst its headquarters. The railway arrived in 1876, opening up the Central West to the Sydney produce markets and proving a further boost to the town's fortunes as a provincial centre. The population increased from 5000 in 1871 to over 9000 by the end of the century with Bathurst declared a city in 1885. By the end of the 19th-century the large wool enterprises of the district were giving way to smaller holdings with an emphasis on cattle, agriculture, market gardening and fruit orchards. The latter enterprise received a boost when returning soldiers were granted land after World War I, turning their efforts largely to orchards. Motor racing also developed in the area from 1911 culminating in the establishment of the Mt Panorama Racing Circuit in 1938. A strong emphasis on the retention of local industries, the development of educational institutions, the establishment of decentralised government departments and tourism have been features of the local economy since World War II. Ben Chifley, the son of a blacksmith and the prime minister of Australia from 1945 to 1949, was born at Bathurst in 1885 and maintained his connections with the city until the end of his life. He joined the NSW railways at 17 and, at 26, became the youngest locomotive driver in the state. Chifley became a union representative in 1913 but was demoted to cleaner due to his involvement in the Great Strike of 1917. He entered parliament as the member for Macquarie (the local seat) in 1928 and became the treasurer and minister for postwar reconstruction in Curtin's government. When Curtin died in the last month of World War II Chifley became prime minister. From 1949 until his death in 1951 he was leader of the opposition. He was interred at Bathurst.

    CENTRAL BLUE MOUNTAINS ROTARY CLUB INC. “Service above Self” District 9685, Australia A SHORT PRECIS (Who, What and Where !) WHO AND WHAT ARE WE ? Central Blue Mountains Rotary is one of five rotary Clubs located in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. We are innovative and progressive... we are a “Can Do” group of Rotarians, proud of what we achieve, and we have fun doing it. We are a club of 43 members (40 active and 3 honorary). In Rotary, women are the fastest growing membership segment and we are proud to say that 25% of our members are women. Our club meets weekly on Wednesday at the “Grandview Hotel”, 174 Great Western Highway, Wentworth Falls at 6.30pm. Our meeting format is relaxed and we have great guest speakers. Sure, we sell raffle tickets and we cook and sell sausage sandwiches just like other Rotary clubs - we have a big catering van to do this....It’s great! But our community service activities are the heart of what we do, ranging from local projects to helping communities overseas. We have a website http://centralbluerotary.org/ Perhaps our greatest challenge at present; We have been awarded a RAWCS Project Fund to raise A$280,000 to construct a new, enlarged Astha Home for Girls in Kathmandu, Nepal. The massive earthquake that struck Nepal in 2015 caused much upheaval to the lives of many people and destroyed or damaged many homes and buildings, especially in the hills and valleys outside of Kathmandu. The Astha Home for Girls is currently located in rented premises but the owner wants it back for his family members who lost their home in the earthquake.

    18 Lachlan River Catchment Maitland Mercury & Hunter River Advertiser, 5 April 1862 True Tales of the Trout Cod: River Histories of the Murray-Darling Basin 18-1 The Lachlan (From the Empire’s Correspondent) March 30 – The continued absence of rain causing stoppage of the puddling machines for want of water, is the sole reason of the small escort leaving tomorrow. As before stated, the river, one mile distant, is tabooed for washing purposes to the last dregs, so that the returns per escort will diminish until we are blessed with the winter’s rain. Great quantities of fish have this week been picked up by hand out of the bed of the lagoon between the Victoria and Caledonian loads, some of the codfish weighing over 30 pounds weight, besides bream, perch and jewfish, the latter being one of the oddest of the finny tribe, presenting the appearance of half newt, with porpoise head and feelers round the mouth. This fish deposits its ova in a gravelly cell on the bottom using stones of upwards of a pound weight in their construction (as a blackfellow asserts). Certain it is that little mounds, of beehive form, abound in this lagoon, containing gravel.
