My Town: Bathurst map

BCL's own columnist, Leo Roving Reporter, has come up with an original way of promoting the must-see sights of Bathurst to locals and visitors alike. Leo has created a hand drawn map of Bathurst, cleverly incorporating items and locations of interest that have all previously featured in his weekly column. 

Talking about his "My Town: Bathurst" map he said "It's good, I like it - I tried my best and I think it turned out good." The A4 artwork, which is available for purchase, is printed on art paper, can be framed or unframed and all pieces have been individually coloured and signed by Leo.

BCL has one framed artwork to give away to the first reader who brings in a copy of one of Leo's columns featured on the "My Town: Bathurst" map.

Report from: Sofala
Story filed: A foot bridge

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about our recent stop at Sofala. While we were on our way to Mudgee, we stopped at the Joyce Pearce Memorial Park. In the middle of it, there was a long bridge. the bridge used to go over the little river there but a flood destroyed it. Years, years later a farmer found some of the remains of the bridge and then everybody helped to find the rest of the remains and once they found them, rebuilt it and plopped right in the middle of the Joyce Pearce Memorial Park. Opposite the old bridge is an engine from a coal mine and a big metal strip with a big metal bucket on it - to scoop up the dirt. So, then we got on our way and I really enjoyed our stop. I hope we stop there again. The end.

Until next time

Hi people, it's Leo here. Today I'm going to talk about swimming. Every Wednesday and Friday I go to the pool for swimming training and sometimes it is very hard. My coaches are Emily and Lenny. Sometimes I don't want to go swimming training but I have to and sometimes it's fun but mainly it's tiring and hard work but I guess it is all about hard work. Emily and Lenny have lots of techniques to teach and I really enjoy learning off them. I don't really like going to swimming carnivals, it's all right going to the carnivals but I do get very nervous when I am at them. The best bit about swimming is trying hard.

Until next time
