From breaking news and development to sporting events and nights out on the town with friends, our photographers have been there to capture many local moments.
For today's trip down memory lane, we are taking a look back at how Bathurst has celebrated New Year's Eve over the last decade.
Most years involved Party in the Park at the Adventure Playground, with a 9pm fireworks display being the main attraction, but the plans were changed in 2019.
The fireworks had to be cancelled due to the high fire risk and celebrations were moved to Machattie Park.
