Bald Ridge is a sparsely settled rural locality in the Bathurst Regional Council area, postcode 2795, with roads such as Bald Ridge Road and Redbank Road. This entry covers the Bathurst-region Bald Ridge, not the separate Bald Ridge near Tarana in the Oberon area.
It lies about 55–60 km south of Bathurst, south of Trunkey Creek, in hilly grazing and bush country at around 830 m elevation.
The locality has no attractions of its own. Nearest attractions are Trunkey Creek village, Abercrombie Caves and Abercrombie River National Park.
A taxi over 267 km runs on the meter with no set price, and few will come out to Bald Ridge for a pre-dawn start. Public transport means a coach or drive to the nearest station, a train to Central and a change to the airport line with your luggage — and nothing gets you there for an early flight. Driving yourself means about 3 hr 47 min each way plus airport parking for every day you are away. See the full comparison.
Flying home? We meet you at the rideshare area inside the P7 car park at T1, or the Priority Pick-up area off the P1 walkway at T2 and T3, with free waiting of 60 minutes after an international landing and 40 after a domestic one — step-by-step pickup directions.
Family down the road or a friend on the way — we collect from more than one address on the same run, so everyone travels in one vehicle for one fixed fare. Add the extra stops when you book.
Each has its own page and published fares.
