200 year old beacon established for land surveying. There are plaques with the settlers names, farm allocations and distance from the town. Makes for a nice walk from Bathurst town centre and is open air and free.

The Toposcope is a heritage site commemorating the 1820 settlers and their descendants. It is located on a particularly scenic hill with many landscape views. Plaques reflecting the names and ships of the parties arriving in the Eastern Cape in 1820 appear around the Toposcope. The plaques create a compass direction indicating the location of the various settler parties. As a tourist attraction this monument and others in Bathurst are the lifeblood of tourism driven job creation in the area. What an amazing view. Fresh air. So relaxing being on top of the world. Dont miss it when passing through Bathurst!
