Frost in Bathurst

Frost usually arrives in Bathurst around mid April and finishes by late October. In about 1 year in 10 it comes as early as late March or as late as late November, so frost-tender crops are planned around those dates.

From its Bureau of Meteorology station, 1991 to 2020, counting a night at 2°C or lower as a frost. Frost hollows and hillsides can shift these dates by weeks, so ask the growers at your garden too.
