The Western Advocate has been keeping Bathurst residents informed about what's happening in their community since 1848, so naturally we've taken quite a few photos over the years.

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 going back to March 2000 with a second collection of photos from the time.

If you want to see more photos, we published another 50 photos recently.

And if you're after more from the past, you can see our entire collection of history galleries here
