Was a busy late afternoon in Bathurst when we came across lots of people in a certain area, as luck had it my husband found a parking place a few steps away from a Carousel, so out I popped to take a video and some photos of this area.
Video goes for 10 seconds.
Bathurst was established in 1815 with the discovery of gold.
The above photo is the Court House opened in 1880.
Love the picture of the courthouse.. beautiful city...
You asked me about the pumpkin carving, that is a tradition of Halloween. After carving the pumpkin we usually put the candle inside it, and it glows in the dark.. it is call Jack-o-Lantern.. once I wrote about it.. I'll send you the link..
Ese carrusel antiguo es una preciosidad. De vez en cuando veo alguno parecido cuando visito el Mercado Medieval de alguna ciudad que visito.

Carousals are not seen here often in Tasmania where I live so it was good to see one on your travels.
DeleteThat's a wonderful little carousel! The town reminds me of many smaller towns here back a few decades. Great post.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. Lovely city.
DeleteMachattie Park (near the Court House) brings back fond memories. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAh! You are welcome :)
DeleteThat's a great looking carousel.
ReplyDeleteLong time since I had seen one, was impressed.
DeleteI love carousels. Looks nice!
ReplyDeleteSomething different to see on our travels.
DeleteBonitas imagenes, pero me quedo con ese esplendido cielo, Margaret.
ReplyDeleteBuen fin de semana, amiga.
Thank you Jordi. Sky is always nice when it has blue in it.

DeleteKrishna - thanks for the link which I read, well done.
You are welcome
DeleteA beautiful day to explore the town! There are great historic buildings here like that courthouse!
ReplyDelete& what a pretty carousel!
I prefer older buildings as they have great character and lots of history.
DeleteNice to me a carousel is a merry go round
ReplyDeleteThat's true to me as well Jo-Anne, am so used to hearing these days carousel that I too have fallen to that name rather than a merry go round!
DeleteApartments is a good use for old hotels, better than letting it gently decay and disappear. The carousel is lovely.
ReplyDeleteOne way of keeping the hotel from becoming a derelict building.
DeleteHello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures. Great the impressive statues.
Funny movie of that carousel.
Best regards,
Marco
Thanks Marco.
DeleteLoved the video of the carousel, looks a good one too!
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It was rather a pretty one, we don't see carousels often.
DeleteSo people prefered to live where they can find lots of gold ,comes in mind the oldest civilizations that started living near water banks.
ReplyDeletecourt house and royal hotel are magnificent places to look at!
That's true what you say.
DeleteBeautiful buildings and there know doubt was lots of money about in the days of building due to gold.
