During our visit to the Bathurst region we wanted to visit this reserve as it was a farm which my great great great grandfather had farmed in 1830. We arranged our visit through Gavin and Lucille who are the owners of the Pig & Whistle pub in Bathurst. We met Gavin and Mark his ranger at the gate of the reserve. After a walk around the reserve spotting game ( no predators on this reserve)we had a very enjoyable picnic, supplied by the Pig & Whistle, near the river close to where weaver birds were making their nests. Mark and Gavin gave us both a better understanding of all the issues involved in running a game reserve,especially in the current dry conditions.

Reputed to be the oldest structure in Bathurst. The the powder magazine, built by the military before the arrival of the 1820 settlers. Obviously, it has suffered wear and tear over the almost 200 years, yet it remains on the top of the hill, still and special
