Sally Gould In Conversation
2025-07-24 18:00 - 20:00 | Bathurst Library, 70 -78 Keppel Street, Bathurst, New South Wales, 2795, Australia
Join paramedic and author Sally Gould for a conversation on her insightful memoir Frog. Sally has been a paramedic for 14 years and is a CSU Alumna.
Bookings essential: ph 6333 6281

Life as a paramedic can be traumatic, gross, dull, hilarious and magical. But behind the sirens, and the life-or-death scenes, and the absurdity of non-urgent callouts, a paramedic’s career is very different to how most people imagine it.
Based on years of meticulously kept journals, Frog is an intimate look at the human cost of the job and the cumulative effect of trauma.

Copies of the book will be for sale on the night.

About the author
Sally Gould has been a paramedic for fourteen years and counting, and still finds joy in her self-proclaimed dream job. The professional and personal growth she experienced on the frontline, and the journals she kept during her early years in the field, were the inspiration for her memoir Frog.
Her draft manuscript won the narrative non-fiction category in the 2023 ASA/CA Award Mentorship Program.
When she’s not in uniform, Sally can be found tutoring paramedic students or immersed in her writing. She spends the rest of her days off nurturing herself through running, bushwalking, baking, attending theatre, and spending time with family and friends. Sally lives in Sydney with her husband and their two children.

Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE

Exhibition Tours // ESSSENSSSE
Join a FREE, guided exhibition tour by BRAG staff on Saturdays at 11am!
Free, all welcome, RSVP online or at gallery reception.
Bathurst Regional Art Gallery (BRAG) presents ESSSENSSSE, a joyful work about healing and new beginnings by acclaimed contemporary artist HOSSEI (NSW), guest curated by Tesha Malott.
ESSSENSSSE is an aquatic ecosystem that explores the tenacity of the human spirit, stripping away corporeal human qualities and revealing what’s underneath. ESSSENSSSE follows HOSSEI’s exploration of creating costumes that ‘heal’. Featuring a cast of 16 other-worldly sea creatures, ESSSENSSSE transitions from a series of dynamic and joyful performances into a sensory, large-scale installation, in which visitors are surrounded by a playful, 100% tactile landscape.
ESSSENSSSE began when HOSSEI became fascinated by the sand dollar sea creatures— their shape, features, and how in mediaeval times it was truly believed that sand dollars were mermaid currency. When looking at the sand dollar, HOSSEI realised that if you were to remove the physical characteristics of a human body, you would be left with a mouth and an anus, just like the sand dollar. It is this idea that compelled HOSSEI to make the sand dollar an emblem of the show. An entry point and an exit, not just with food, but in the sense of discerning which energies come through and nourish the insides, and which are let out. ESSSENSSSE is about letting go and being one with the spirit and embracing its purity and vulnerability.
A Verge Gallery exhibition, touring in partnership with Museums & Galleries of NSW, supported by the University of Sydney and proudly funded by the NSW Government. Verge Gallery is supported by the University of Sydney Union.

LIVE MUSIC | Band of Brothers
2025-07-26 19:30 - 23:00 | Panthers Bathurst, 132 Piper Street, Bathurst, NSW, 2795, Australia
Band of Brothers is a local rockabilly band making waves across Bathurst, Lithgow and the Central Ranges. What started out as a few mates playing in the bass player’s living room has grown into a full live show with regular gigs at spots like Kelle’s Irish Pub, Portland RSL and Club Lithgow. They’ve also played at community events and even for local politicians on Australia Day.
Their style is upbeat and fun, with a rockabilly sound that gets the crowd moving. Think Beatles, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and Aussie favourites like Crowded House. With strong guitar solos, four-part harmonies and a natural stage presence, they know how to get a room going.
Band of Brothers is heading to Panthers Bathurst, bringing their high-energy show and good-time vibes with them. Don’t miss it.
