2011-10-25
Australia is currently enjoying a wonderful spring throughout the country. Travelers in other parts of the world looking to escape the cold may wish to visit the Bathurst region of this country, which features some wonderfully charming attractions and opportunities to indulge in the sunny weather. Located a short distance outside of Sydney, this destination may be ideal for baby boomers who hope to relax and experience a new and fresh location on their upcoming vacation.
Arguably, one of the biggest attractions in Bathurst is the Australia Fossil and Mineral Museum. According to Lonely Planet, this facility houses the nation’s only Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton on display, as well as many other fun and interactive exhibits dating back thousands of years.
Another fantastic museum to experience is the National Motor Racing Museum, which may be perfect for travelers who have a need for speed. The region’s tourism website states that guests can view the race cars and trophies won by driving greats.
Bathurst has some beautiful gardens and parks that travelers can explore for a romantic stroll. A unique area to visit is McPhillamy Park, which has part of the town’s paved racing motorway winding through the trees and grassy knolls.
