Analysis shows the historical development of road crossing in Bathurst, highlighting its significance over 200 years.
When Sir Rufane Donkin decided to establish the new town of Bathurst in May 1820, Johannes Knobel, the Government Surveyor, was instructed to create a plan. He must have started with a completely blank canvas, as there was nothing in the area at that time to act as the central focal point for the project, except a possible crossing of two rough tracks. These must have been very basic tracks at that time and it is interesting to see how they have evolved (or not) in the last 200 years.
