South Bathurst, NSW

Nestled in a quiet residential street in Bathurst, the Chifley Home and Education Centre offers an intimate glimpse into the life of Australia's 16th Prime Minister, Ben Chifley, and his wife, Elizabeth. The house, built between 1887 and 1891, is preserved with original furnishings, kitchenware, and personal items dating back to 1914. Visitors can explore the modest home that weathered the Great Depression and wartime austerity, providing a unique window into everyday life in the 1940s. The museum also features an assortment of ceremonial gifts presented to Chifley during his political career.
