A true icon and amazing destination for not only car racing fans. The views are beautiful, especially on a clear winter morning with the low cloud across parts of the town. Everyone you speak to on the mountain has a smile on their face. The walk is awesome and a great heart starter before jumping back in the car for a 3 hour drive. Thoroughly recommend the visit.

One of the all time greatest experiences of a life time. All fans of motorsport need to go to Mt Panorama, Bathurst at least once in your life. Awesome!

Finally made it to Mount Panorama, and wow, what an experience! Even when there’s no race on, just driving the circuit at normal speed gives you chills. The elevation changes, the sharp turns, the views over Bathurst… it’s unreal to imagine the pros flying through it at full speed. I stopped a few times to take in the scenery and honestly, every corner has history written all over it. The National Motor Racing Museum nearby is also worth the visit. So much passion and heritage packed into one place. Whether you’re into motorsport or just love a scenic drive with serious Aussie character, Mount Panorama is a must-visit. I left with a full heart, a phone full of photos, and a huge smile. Can’t wait to go back! 🏁🇦🇺

It was interesting to have a look at the track and get an idea of what it's like to drive around. Speed limit is 60 can't imagine the speed the drivers do and in terrible weather conditions like this year. They are crazy or very brave

Nice track to drive for a taste of the car race even at 60km/h. The view at top of the mountain is wonderful

The vintage motor car museum collection was really nice to see. The beautifully preserved cars and classic designs made it an enjoyable and nostalgic experience.

Ita the best place ever. Bathurst 1000 is the greatest event.

A wonderful little gem of a museum! Pun fully intended. We came with our kids on a weekday during school hours and it was pretty quiet. We had lots of space to explore the beautiful old rooms filled with spectacular mineral and fossil specimens. The displays are laid out with great visual appeal and well written educational information. We greatly appreciated the hands-on experiences for small children especially the microscope and dinosaur toys. Also the picnic table in the courtyard for a bit of morning tea before we entered. Staff were friendly and helpful, bathrooms clean and well maintained. Overall a lovely experience. I would recommend about 1.5-2 hours.

Wealth of history living in this cozy and compact museum! Awe inspiring displayed of collections around the country and globe! Quite a fascinating place where kids/adults in fact all ages people can learn about the past. We spent quite a long time inside the museum and learned a lot! Every pieces of collection has its own unique history and features. A must visit place for everyone! Highly recommended.

Such a great museum with permanent fossil / mineral displays and other cool temporary exhibitions. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and clearly love this place. Shout out to the descriptions of tumble rocks and crystals at the gift shop, factual and science-based instead of wishy washy energetic 'benefit'.

A fascinating variety of minerals despite the small size, they had an engaging perioidic table and how they excavate the minerals, perfect for primary school aged kids.

Loved this museum! Our grandsons loved the T-rex skeleton (they were huge!), the fossils and the insects and animals in amber. I loved the displays connecting the periodic table to modern living; they are an inspired way to show how these minerals are used today. The mineral displays were beautifully presented with good information.

Very modern and interactive museum specifically tailored for kids. Stunningly set in an old church. The T-Rex skeleton was fantastic, and so many things to touch and feel, and history of the earth video was great. Only a few small rooms here though, and an hour is enough. Definately worth a visit though.

Very nice small museum. It's small but it has more than enough exhibit to satisfy ones curiosity.

A pretty museum with a great collection of vintage cars and bikes. Nicely maintained and perfect for anyone who enjoys classic vehicles and a bit of history. Worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Cheap entry and very approachable staff. Great place to visit for the diehard motorsports fan. Has everything from motorbikes to full blown championship winning cars. Lots of history all contained within the 4 walls. Highly recommend

Pretty cool spot. Really cool museum experience as you almost feel like you've stepped back in time. Walking past the cars you get flashbacks of seeing those very vehicle in races.

If you love motor sports then you will love the national motor racing museum. A wide range of racing memorabilia from past races to current. The whole place is well kept and clean and easy to navigate around for sll

A must-visit for every motorsport enthusiast! The collection beautifully captures Australia’s rich racing history. The views of Mount Panorama add to the thrill

We absolutely loved our visit to the National Motor Racing Museum in Bathurst. The exhibits are excellent, covering a rich history of Australian motorsport with iconic cars and memorabilia. The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, which made the experience even better. There was no waiting time, allowing us to explore at our own pace. Whether you're a serious fan or just curious about racing history, this museum is a fascinating and well-presented experience. Highly recommended! #visitaustraliaash #nationalmotorracingmuseum #ashfootprints #bathurst #nsw #australia #visitsrilanka #srilankaelle

Dropped in to have a look and, though I'm not much into motor sport, it was pretty interesting. Great collection of cars and bikes. Interesting stories about the cars.

Best place we visited near Bathurst! A fantastic place with so much to look at. We had a good talk to the owner as well which made it even more interesting. He tells us that they will be opening the basement level with the kitchens very soon. I’d be delighted to go back.

A timeless gem in Bathurst! Abercrombie House is one of those places that completely transports you to another era. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, I could feel the history and character of this magnificent 19th-century mansion. The Scottish Baronial-style architecture is stunning. Every gable, tower and stone detail tells a story. We were blown away by how beautifully the Morgan family has preserved the estate since the 1960s. The rooms are filled with antiques, period furniture, and little touches that make you imagine what life was like here over a century ago. The gardens and surrounding grounds are lovely, peaceful, green, and perfect for a slow stroll or photo moment. I can tell this place is looked after with real care and passion. Whether you’re into architecture, history, or just want a relaxing and memorable outing in Bathurst, Abercrombie House is an absolute must-visit.

A beautifully preserved house with a lovely collection of antique and historical items. It offers a charming glimpse into the past and is definitely worth a visit. We even spotted a beautiful peacock and two friendly cats during our visit — a delightful surprise that added to the charm of the place!

An absolute must see! Had a great day out visiting Abercrombie House, lots of history and great coffee on site. Highly recommended!

Most interesting place we visited around Bathurst. Will be even bone, since we were speaking to the owner and he said that the basement level - all the kitchens and associated - have been cleaned up and will be opened up, and probably are by now…

A beautiful house in Bathurst being restored by a passionate couple. Some rooms haven't been done yet but most have & they're lovely. The more people who visit means more work can be done! Worth a visit & a stroll around the grounds to meet the resident peacocks & see the vintage car collection.

Beautiful house with so much history, so glad we went definitely recommend a visit

Machattie Park is a delight of trees, flowers, bird life, bees, water fountains, a pond with koi. While it definitely got that 1890s vibe vis-a-vis design, content and experience - that's its strength. And more power to Bathurst for keeping it as vintage as possible - while of course each generation has added to it via addition of trees in the 1940s and modern plumbing I'm sure! Some trees have plaques which is great, I wish all of them did, kinda like a tree zoo. I am not a local so I don't come here that often (I'm here for the 1000 most Octobers) but when here I do like walking through it even if its just getting from one part of town to the other.

Beautiful Park in Bathurst and a credit to Council and the community. Filled with meandering paths, old established trees, heritage rotunda, duck pond and planted flower beds. The Boronia house is well worth a visit for nature lovers and free entry. The Park surrounds the heritage court house and trees are home to an array of wildlife with possums to be seen day and night. There are public toilets and plenty of parking. Highly recommended ❤️

Beautiful garden with various flowers collection. Very quiet when we visited which is good as then we get more chance to enjoy the garden for ourselves.

A lovely little park modelled on the city parks of Victorian Britain. There is a lovely fernery and, in season, fabulous blooms in the begonia house plus a fanciful fountain, picnic tables and a bandstand. The Christmas Carol Party is a summer treat with music and Santa and lots of fun.

Disappointed most of the park is closed off for some reason. Can’t see any reason why. Managed to see the ducks and the koi in the pond through the fence. And a possum was awake through the day eating a piece of apple someone had given him.

Lovely park for picnics and the ever changing trees and flowering shrubs and plants are very pretty. View the ducks and turtles in the Spencer fountain. Follow the paths that weave around through the park. In the park you will find a lovely little enclosed fernery with a cute little path to walk around and the Begonia House with a stunning display of beautiful colourful Begonias.

Jan-22: a lot nicer now, the park seems very well maintained. Some areas still closed due to covid Jul-20: During covid, parts of the park are closed... It was mid July when we went, and I think autumn would be the best time to visit.

We visited today as my husband was curious to see the super car track, but that is not what I'll remember of Balthurst. I will remember the begonias! Wow, they were SPECTACULAR! Incredible colours, variety and just exquite flowers. Thank you so much to the helpful woman who served us and suggested we visit the historic centre (lovely) and the begonias. Wow!!! Congratulations to all those involved. Much to be proud about.

Plenty of helpful info from the staff member. Lots of sovenier items to check out too. Easy to find right beside main road.

Great customer service and local knowledge of Baturst and surrounds. Great gift shop with local and sourced gifts. Maps, books and information leaflets available. Parking is plentiful with mobility parking. Situated on the Great Western highway approaching Bathurst.

Has souvenirs and a charging station out the front which is convenient.

Lots of information, pamphlets and Nick nacks. Nice helpful staff. Nice cafe next door All good. Jim
