Aussie Towns

This is a series of caches that has been put out along the Kidman Way to celebrate our favorite towns.

The caches are all of a reasonable size and should easily be found.

As this is the main highway all care should be taken to pull of the road in a safe position as not to interfier with the traffic.

Bathurst /ˈbæθəst/ is a regional city in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. It is approximately 200 kilometres west of Sydney and is the oldest inland settlement in Australia and had an estimated population of 33,110 people on 2011 Census night.

Bathurst is often referred to as the Gold Country as it was the site of the first gold discovery and where the first gold rush occurred in Australia. Today, the legend of Peter Brock, education, tourism and manufacturing drive the economy. The internationally known racetrack Mount Panorama is a landmark of the city. Bathurst has an historic city centre with many buildings remaining from the gold rush period of the mid to late 1800s.The City is really Famous for the Motor race trackwhich goes across the face of the mountain.

The median age of the city's population is 34.0 years; which is particularly young for a regional centre (the state average is 36.4), and is related to the large education sector in the community. Population growth has reached 1.6% per annum over the five years until 2010, making Bathurst the seventh fastest growing regional city in NSW. This growth over recent years has resulted in increased urban development including retail precincts, sporting facilities, housing estates and expanding industrial areas.
