Bathurst

While we were away on our recent holiday, Dear One wanted to go to Bathurst as he is a mad keen V8 Supercar fan (Ford of course) and wanted to go for a drive around the Mount Panarama circuit.  I must say, I really enjoyed it myself.  It was pretty difficult to stick to the 60 kilometre an hour speed limit ~ I wanted to flatten my foot and race everyone who was in front of me!

Anyway, an unexpected highlight for me (besides pretending I was Craig Loundes racing around the race track) were the number of amazing heritage properties in the township.  Big wow, just driving around looking for a motel was an absolute pleasure! 

Here are some photos of the drivebys we did!

 

My favourite ~ pretty house and perfect cottage garden.  This pretty was opposite our motel.

 

I'm so envious of the flowers in front of the cottagey houses ~ exactly what I tried to do last year in front of my lovely white picket fence, but of course the little so and so kid down the road kept stomping or stealing everything I planted.  These pretty gardens made me desperate to try again, but not likely I suppose until they move. 

 

 

  

Imagine what you could do with this house ~ my eyes popped when I saw it.  There were many, many other houses, and I certainly wouldn't object to living in Bathurst!

Those photos of Bathurst houses are beautiful. My hustand is also a Ford fan and follows the V8's very closely. He has been going to Bathurst every second year for many years now. I have been on 2 occasions, the first time I went to the races, the next time we went with another couple and us girls toured the region and went shopping...much more fun....it was great!! Going again this year I think with some other friends. It is a very pretty part of the country, nice and lush as well.

Hi Vickie! I went to school in Bathurst! Although I didn't get to take much notice of the lovely homes because I was tucked away in a boring boarding house arrrrrhhhhh!!!!!! The photos look so inviting.
