This is the perfect fragrance for you to use to fake a weeks worth of the Bull pit on the day you arrive. Essence of Bathurst, what a smell. So how are we going to develope this patented fragrance? Read on . . .

The idea of Essence of Bathurst was created by Adam Hartwig, one of the stars of A Tale from Bathurst. Six weeks after the big event, we set up our tents for a camping trip at the Basin, which is a quick boat trip from Whale beach, on the outskirts of Sydney. The particular tent that made the trip to Bathurst hadn't been aired and had this deep rich smoke and burnt rubber smell to it. The idea was spawned. Just recently I realised how we were going to extract this fragrance with a few simple materials.

The Shopping list

1. 1 Toilet Roll.
2. A short length of conduit with radius to match the toilet roll.
3. An old tyre.
4. some very green wood and leaves.
5. 5 ml of oil.
6. 5 ml of petrol.
7. An old vacuum pump of some description.

Instructions
 

Jam the toilet roll inside the conduit and seal off one end. Securely place the hose of a vacuum cleaner inside the toilet roll. The toilet roll is now an air filter. Carefully burn your selections of Motor Oil, Green timber, petrol and tyre rubber, making sure to suck every bit of black smoke into the air filter. (CAUTION, MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO FLAMES NEAR YOUR FILTER, OR IT MAY IGNITE. ALSO, TRY TO COOL THE GASES BEFORE THEY HIT THE FILTER) Once your supplies have been burnt, remove the blackened filter and rinse all the black soot in 2 litres of water. Gently boil off some of the water making sure the particles don't cling together. Allow to cool then bottle in a spray pack for that instant '3 day smell' on your trip to Bathurst.
