A Carillon must have a minimum of 23 bells, though many have 50 or more. The bells are made of cast bronze and are suspended in a tower. When a key is pressed, the clapper strikes the inside of the corresponding bell. The force with which the key is pressed determines the intensity of the sound, allowing for a wide range of musical expression.

Day 2: Breakfast, Morning Tea and Lunch are included.
After breakfast we farewell Bathurst with a visit to the National Motor Racing Museum, where iconic cars and stories capture the spirit of Australian motorsport. We then travel through rolling countryside to Oberon, pausing for morning tea and a short exploration of this charming highland town. Our journey continues to the Blue Mountains village of Leura, where we enjoy lunch followed by some free time
to wander Leura’s boutique shops, leafy avenues and heritage streetscape before we make our way home.
Bathurst is Australia’s oldest inland settlement and boasts a proud legacy of gracious old buildings and beautiful parks and gardens. Today Bathurst is a thriving city at the centre of one of Australia’s fastest growing regions. Rich agricultural land surrounds Bathurst with the raising of sheep, cattle and horses
still practiced on large holdings close to the town. Fruit and vegetable production is also important to the local economy but in recent years Bathurst has established itself as a centre of excellence in education
