BATHURST
BATHURST
Bathurst’s
Big Five
Planning a day trip somewhere? Why not Bathurst? The essence of the village resolves around the soul, which the locals have termed as “the centre of the universe”. A pooled little core of settlement cottages, dominated by a large friendly church at the top of the hill. The air of laid-back alternative living belies the tumultuous history of wars that raged on for many years from 1884 to 1886. Largely owned by the ‘church’, Bathurst as laid out in 1820, is series of allotments and outspans, which has changed very little over the years. From settler roots, the ‘trades-folk’, much like of old, along with military influences, the stalwarts of commerce have injected a classic attraction, of exquisite galleries, and boutique shops, also grass-root crafters, and absolutely amazing restaurants and deli’s . For purists, there is the tallest pineapple in the world, the historical ‘toposcope’ on the Bunkers Hill, and of course, the unique waters meeting reserve. • Antiquities; churches, grave yards and magical agricultural museum. • Food. • Galleries/shops • Pineapple • Waters meeting. A day trip to Bathurst is an exhilarating and refreshing experience . 046-624-1235 | tourism@sunshinecoasttourism.co.za
