SUMMARY:History Talk: Machattie Park
DESCRIPTION:How does a gaol in the centre of town become the ‘beauty spot of the West?’ Join Bathurst local Jan Page to find out in this history talk about Machattie Park.\nBookings essential: Call 6333 6281.\nMachattie Park in the heart of Bathurst is much-loved by locals and visitors alike who are drawn to its peaceful shade\, beautiful features and gardens\, and the spectacular annual begonia display.  It is a place for gatherings and celebrations and a place of memories both personal and of prominent Bathurstians.  The beautiful park stands on the site of Bathurst’s second gaol\, and its story is a fascinating one of transformation.  \nDescribed as “the beauty spot of the West”\, Machattie Park was at the heart of civic events and public entertainment with grand occasions\, regular band concerts and fund-raising activities.  Although there have been changes over the years as the plantings matured and successive gardeners adapted to the evolving garden and changing times\, the Victorian design of the original vision remains.\nJan Page OAM is the author of Machattie Park Bathurst. A well-known local\, Jan is also President of the Friends of Bathurst War Memorial Carillon and President of the Bathurst Family History Group. \nThis talk is part of the Australian Heritage Festival 2026 celebrating the theme ‘Change’.\nImage: Courtesy Bathurst District Historical Society
