As one of Australia's oldest cities found inside of the coastline, Bathurst has maintained its buildings of historical significance, being the original site of government settlement. However, Bathurst is continually growing in stature as a regional centre, and there's a bubbling sense of contemporary culture as a result of the youthful population studying at Charles Sturt University. Devotees of motor-racing will already know that Mount Panorama is one of the Australian meccas for the sport with the city charged each year for the V8 Super Cars.
