Bathurst Court House

had a need to go to Bathurst for a work trip and deliberated about whether to take my camera or rely on my phone. As I didn't know whether I would actually have any free time, I decide dto rely on my new iphone 7 plus for the day and "test it out" if I had the time. This is one of the images I took when I went for a short stroll in the morning. The Bathurst Courthouse (circa 1880) faces Russell Street and is Neo-Classical with an octagonal Renaissance dome. It was designed by colonial architect James Barnet and is in the heart of this rural town. The courthouse is definitely an impressive building and is regarded by the National Trust as 'one of Australia's finest examples of Victorian public architecture'. The entire structure is 81 metres long and 45 metres wide.
