Meet Nadine,

A modern-day pioneer with a heart for adventure, a passion for history, and a dedication to preserving the past. In January 2018, Nadine left the Central Coast, with her Kingswood ute packed and her loyal blue dog by her side, venturing over the Great Dividing Range to Bathurst, a land of new opportunities and untold stories.
By 2021, with a rotating work schedule granting her more free time, Nadine’s true exploration began, both of the landscapes around her and her creative aspirations. In June, she joined the Bathurst Historical Society, deepening her commitment to heritage preservation. Then, on October 9 2021, she launched Nadine Travels West, a platform to share her love for history, adventure, and Australian craftsmanship through photography and storytelling.
What began as a way to stay connected with family during lockdowns evolved into a mission to celebrate and protect rural New South Wales rich historical tapestry. Through Nadine Travels West and her work with the Historical Society, Nadine invites others to journey with her online as she uncovers the stories that shape the past and inspire the future.
