What you might not have noticed was the lamps belonged to Bathurst's Stuart Driver, a collector of colonial furniture and lamps.

Late last year, Mr Driver was approached to provide assistance in the filming of the ABC series - which aired its first episode of its second season on Tuesday, September 1 - hosted by Annabel Crab.

Mr Driver provided guidance, as well as some props including the kerosene lamps.

"The kerosene lamps that will be seen for the 1900 setting and possibly for the 1910 show (but I am not sure what they finally decided to do)," he said.

"It was interesting seeing the work they do and certainly being approached to assist.

"The series will then move through the decades to the 1930s I understand."

Mr Driver is internationally recognised for his work with lamps and his collection has won awards nationally.

"Furniture wise, I have chairs that research strongly suggests were originally purchased by Colonel Stewart and brought to Bathurst in the 1850s," he explained

"Most of my furniture is NSW made and much of it by notable cabinet makers and dates to early 1840s.

"I've collected things from the Victorian era all my adult life and I think I've only bought two pieces of modern furniture in my life.

"It's just been a personal interest and lamps have become a part of that and that's probably why I've bought one of Bathurst's Victorian homes."
