Originally called Bathurst District Hospital
Built in 1880 by J. Willett to the design of Sydney architect William Boles, the design was a result of a competition following the 1878 destruction by fire of the original 1824 convict hospital in Bentinck Street. A large late Victorian hospital complex in the second empire style, the two storey hospital is comprised of a central administrative area with a tower, and operating theatre block flanked by long wings, with the men's wards on one side and women's on the other. Constructed in Bathurst bricks; verandahs are decorated with timber posts, arched brackets and cast iron balustrades. The roofs are clad in iron sheeting.

My first visit to the city of Bathurst and I had to take the chance to have a look at Australia's most famous street racetrack at Mt Panorama. The track is surrounded by rural properties, some featuring very nice houses which overlook the track .
Bathurst 1000, has been renamed several times in it's history and has generally featured tough competition between Holden and Ford V8s. I never realised that the track climbs so high apparently 174 metres between it's highest and lowest point and how grueling it must be to tear up to the top and then wrip down the tight bends coming down to "Conrod Straight" which is the fastest part of the track ending in a 90 degree bend.
The race is 161 laps which equals 1,000 kilometres long.
