Lake Bathurst
A beautiful tree-lined village.
A tiny but charming tree-lined village, the locality of Lake Bathurst is home to some remarkable 19th century historic buildings. More recently, the village has become home to a small selection of farm stays and self-contained accommodation options.
The lake, now encircled by private property, spans a shallow area fluctuating between two and ten square kilometres. As a cherished wetland sanctuary for wading birds, it offers visitors the chance to witness vast flocks traversing between the coast and inland landscapes at various times of the year.
A Brief History
Lake Bathurst was discovered by Hamilton Hume and Surveyor Meehan on an expedition through the area in 1818 with local settlement dates from 1826. The village has several surviving buildings from the 19th century including the old school house, Anglican Church and the old church hall.
