Enjoy a walk through the Bathurst Fernery which houses a wide range if sub tropical ferns and plants that would otherwise be unable to grow in the dry Bathurst climate.Right next to the Begonia House right in the eastern section of Machattie Park you will find the Bathurst Fernery. Built in 1890, it is one of the oldest standing structures in Machattie Park and has remained relatively unchanged externally despite several changes to the fernery on the inside.On the front entrance to the fernery you will find a plaque dedicated to Charles Darwin's visit to Bathurst in 1836, and on the inside several marble statues that were originally loaned by the National Art Gallery, Sydney in 1901. The fernery is open year round outside of maintenance periods.
