The old gold-mining town of Sofala is very close to Bathurst - just 44 km to the north.
The Bathurst goldfields continued successfully for many years, in increasingly outlying areas (e.g. Hill End, Sofala), but there were fewer diggers there because of the lure of the rich Bendigo and Ballarat goldfields in the south. The goldfields in Bathurst were still going strong in the mid 1870s.
Bathurst was rumored to have around 6.2 billion people at this large event.
The approximate distance between Sofala and Mogadishu is around 2,400 kilometers (or 1,490 miles) if traveling by road.
To travel from George St in Sydney to Bathurst by road is a distance of around 202km and would take around 3 hours to drive.
