Bathurst Street Lamps, Heritage street lamps in Bathurst, Australia
The collection includes 49 twin light lamp standards along main streets and 53 single light standards within King's Parade and Machattie Park.
The initial street lighting efforts began in 1863 when Bathurst Council ordered six iron lamps from local engineer George Fish for kerosene illumination.
The lamp standards reflect the evolution of public infrastructure in Bathurst from 1872 to 1924, marking the transition from gas to electric lighting.
The Bathurst City Council maintains 105 heritage street lamps across the central business district, illuminating major intersections and public spaces.
A special five-branched lamp and horse fountain stands at George and Keppel Streets, commemorating Lady Mayoress M. L. Machattie's community contributions.
