About this place
What to expect
Visitors can discover the stories behind the people, places and events that have helped shape NSW - where the history happened. A Blue Plaque visit offers more than sightseeing. It creates a direct connection between place and story, turning everyday locations into places of discovery. Each plaque reveals a unique piece of history, encouraging visitors to explore local areas from a new perspective and uncover stories they may never have known. This blue plaque commemorates William and Ian Clunies Ross. Wililam was a passionate scientist and teacher, who helped shape Bathurst in Central West NSW. Ian, William's youngest son, followed his father into a career in science and his innovative veterinary science research in parasitology led him to Chair what would become the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO).
