Mount Panorama in LEGO Bricks

Over 47,000 bricks went into recreating the 2 sections of the iconic  Mount Panorama Bathurst racing circuit, which is now on display in Bathurst Regional Gallery.

We had heaps of fun recreating lots of moments from throughout the history of the mountain, from its history with the local Wiradjuri Aboriginal people, to famous race crashes and the time a plane landed on the track!

We also got a kick out of recreating the racegoers partying on the sides of the track!
