The first volume of Lee Steele’s 100 Heritage Homes Of Bathurst And District has been one of the most popular books about the Bathurst area since its publication in 2015 and now a second volume has been prepared.
It gathers the architectural history of some of Bathurst’s most well-known houses and buildings built since European settlement, including some that have been restored since the publication of the first book.
