About Us
Welcome to Bathurst Miniature Railway Society. As a club we started in 1977 and today we operate and maintain nearly 600 metres of track at the John Mathew’s sporting complex in Durham Street Bathurst. Over the years we have added many buildings, features and a lot more track for both your enjoyment and ours. Many members, both past and present, have contributed to the scale and success of this layout.
Although members do all the work and running the track voluntarily there are always expenses for the continuous upkeep of the track, buildings, carriage, and grounds maintenance and our rides of only $2 each go back into the upkeep of this track. Everyone that comes for a ride believes that it is a good value, family day out.
The club, at present, has around 20 members from many different backgrounds, which contribute to the overall running of this club and considering that the members have built everything from the trains and track to the working signals and various buildings that you see. I am sure that when you are enjoying the ride you will agree that we put a lot of effort into making this track look as good as it does.
As a member of the AALS (Australian Association of Live Steamers) we cater for all various model engineering such as traction engines, tools and general model engineering… You will always find someone down here who will talk about various types of models that may take your interest.
Our track is made of 10mm x 20mm steel and is dual gauge 3.5” and 5” with 240 volt and air available at the steaming bay for visiting members of other clubs who are most welcome at our running days (3rd Sunday of the month). Your boiler certificate will need to be sighted. We also have a manually operated hydraulic lift for loading / unloading.

I 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 decided to 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.
Bathurst is a regional city in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, Australia. It is about 200 kilometres (120 mi) north-west of Sydney and is the seat of the Bathurst Regional Council. Bathurst is the oldest inland settlement in Australia and had an a population of approximately 35,000 as at the 2016 Census.
The government surveyor, George Evans, was the first European to sight the Bathurst Plains in 1813, following the first successful European crossing of the Blue Mountains in the same year. In 1814, Governor Lachlan Macquarie approved an offer by William Cox to build a road crossing the Blue Mountains, from Emu Plains, the existing road terminus west of Sydney, to the Bathurst Plains. The first road to cross the Blue Mountains was 3.7 metres (12 ft) wide and 163.3 kilometres (101 1⁄2 mi) long, built between 18 July 1814 and 14 January 1815 using 5 freemen, 30 convict labourers and 8 soldiers as guards. Governor Macquarie surveyed the finished road in April 1815 by driving his carriage across it from Sydney to Bathurst. The Governor commended Cox and stated that the project would have taken three years if it had been done under a contract. As a reward Cox was awarded 810 hectares (2,000 acres) of land near what is now Bathurst.
On 7 May 1815, Governor Macquarie at the terminus of Cox's Road raised the flag, ordered a ceremonial volley to be fired and proclaimed and named the future town of Bathurst after the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, Henry Bathurst, 3rd Earl Bathurst.
Bathurst is the oldest inland town in Australia. It was intended to be the administrative centre of the western plains of New South Wales, where orderly colonial settlement was planned.
Bathurst is often referred to as the Gold Country as it was the site of the first gold discovery and where the first gold rush occurred in Australia. Today education, tourism and manufacturing drive the economy. The internationally known racetrack Mount Panorama is a landmark of the city. Bathurst has an historic city centre with many buildings remaining from the gold rush period of the mid to late 1800s.
The median age of the city's population is 34.0 years; which is particularly young for a regional centre (the state average is 36.4), and is related to the large education sector in the community. Population growth has reached 1.6% per annum over the five years until 2010, making Bathurst the seventh fastest growing regional city in NSW. This growth over recent years has resulted in increased urban development including retail precincts, sporting facilities, housing estates and expanding industrial areas.

The councils in the NSW central tablelands used to be big on the MJE side loaders in the past, but Superior Pak has since taken over a lot of the territory with trucks like the one shown. Also used to only be garbage and recycling in Bathurst, but a weekly organics service was introduced in early 2016 to start recovering food and garden waste in the region.

This is a Special Livery designed by Audi specifically for the Australian race, and is a "throwback" to the famous crocodile Audi R8 Le Mans race car that competed in the Race of a Thousand years in Adelaide, 2000.
Among the pilots of this particular machine, which featured Audi factory drivers Christopher Haase and Stephane Ortelli (Driving in this shot), was famous space jumper Felix Baumgartner.
This shot was somewhat lucky.. I had a few from this spot but the cars travel quite fast through here and I was lucky to get as much as the car in focus as I did - and the framing is coincidental. Shot is raw and unedited - pulled straight from the memory card. Most of uphill parts of the circuit have no advertising during this race so it was great to capture it against a backdrop of Michelin draped walls and of course, the tall eucalypts - which highlight that this can only be Australia!
