Bathurst 200 Illuminate

After seeing a tantalising taste of the illuminated buildings while we were at the Street Party we ventured down town on the Wednesday night to have a better look.  It was quite frosty, so we were well rugged up.

This time everything was up and running. Let’s take a walk.

The Courthouse.

 

The Boer War Memorial

Ribbon Gang Lane.  We learnt later that this was a silent disco, so we missed half the fun.  Next time we will be more aware.

 

The old Tafe Building.

Pedrotta’s Lane.

The Carillon.

In the background, while we were wandering around we were entertained by the Anglican Cathedral bellringers practising.  It added an extra dimension to the evening.  The belltower is glass fronted, so we were able to watch them for a little while. 

It was great wandering around at our leisure with no crowds.  We are looking forward to the next Illuminate in July and there will be a third in October.  Bring it on.
