Thanks to a very kind Supporter of the Old Bathurst Post Office we now have our very own  500 piece Jigsaw Puzzle for sale.  It would make a great Christmas present, and it's the ideal gift for those long winter evenings by the fireside!  The puzzle features a photograph taken by local photograher Christopher Lovegrove and contains a nice fold out poster of the picture puzzle itself.  Puzzles can be bought from Makerspace in the Layers building on Main Street and they are open from 1pm to 3 pm until Christmas - the puzzle sells for $30.00.  After Christmas they re-open on Jan 2nd if you missed out.

Testimonials

"When we were presented with a proposal that would bring new life into the building, establish a centre that could become a prime location to showcase culture and our history, as well as becoming a key component in the Downtown area, we were obviously interested.  This building's history is so rich.  Over the span of generations, the Old Post Office was the beating heart of the City of Bathurst.  And now it will have a new life, a new mission, we are very enthusiastic about it's future potential."
