Bathurst Airport
Bathurst Airport serves Bathurst, one of Australia's oldest inland settlements, in the central tablelands of New South Wales at an elevation of 2,435 feet, higher than most other airfields in the state. Two runways support general aviation and limited scheduled services connecting the town to Sydney. Bathurst's cooler, elevated climate sets it apart from much of coastal New South Wales, with occasional winter frosts uncommon around Sydney itself. The town's economy blends agriculture, education, and tourism, drawing visitors from across the region throughout the year. Traffic through the airport rises during the area's popular events each year, then eases back to routine small-aircraft and commuter activity the rest of the time.
