For an experience of a different kind discover space and learn about astronomy at any of the six observatories in the region - Siding Springs and Skywatch near Coonabarabran, Darby Falls near Cowra, Gilgandra, Dubbo and the Radio Telescope at Parkes. The giant 64 metres Parkes Radio Telescope, set in a shallow valley 20 kilometres north of Parkes, is the 2nd oldest and the 4th largest single dish fully steerable radio telescope in the world and star of the hit movie 'The Dish'.
A visit to Bathurst is hardly complete without a visit to Mount Panorama. Bathurst is the capital of Australian Touring Car Racing. It is the home of the Bathurst 1000 motor race, held each October. The track is 6.213 km long, and is technically a street circuit, as the Mountain is home to a number of residents. Mount Panorama is for most of the year a public road where you can experience for yourself (at 60km) the challenges of this world famous circuit. (Police regularly patrol the circuit).
