Hassan's Wall

Reviewed By jamesn883 - Katoomba, Australia

I have driven along the highway below the Hassan’s Walls many times, but decided that it was time to explore further. The weather was ideal and with the advice from the Lithgow Visitors Information Centre we headed to the lookout. While the last couple of kilometres are gravel, the lookout would be accessible to virtually all vehicles. It is certainly worth the drive. Excellent photographic opportunities here, and an excellent picnic spot for travellers. The raised walkway makes the views readily accessible for wheelchairs, strollers, etc.

Glow Worm Tunnel

Reviewed By CollettemOn - Melbourne, Australia

Having read the reviews online we were prepared for a much tougher drive in than we experienced. The dirt road had been graded recently and was no more or less rough than dirt roads generally are. The greater risk for us was large 4WD vehicles driving too fast around bends towards us. We arrived at the park late in the afternoon (5:30pm) on a hot day which meant we could park right next to the start of the walk and it was cooler. The drive in from Lithgow passes through beautiful, boulder strewn country. The walk to the glow worm tunnel is stunning. To see the worms, you need to be quiet - loud noises disturb them and they won’t glow. This escaped at least one group walking the tunnel at the same time as us. Take a good torch (or two) as the tunnel floor is uneven and wet, walk in till the light from the tunnel entrance has dimmed, turn off your lights and let your eyes adjust. The worms are denser at some points so try a few places as you walk in.

We were passing through Lithgow and needed information about road closures for our drive back to Canberra. The lady who helped us gave us lots of information and a few options. The centre itself is very well set up with lots of information. We got great service and really appreciate it.

Blast Furnace Park

Reviewed By Debbieayres - Buderim, Australia

I really had no idea what we were going to look at. There is a lot of information boards around these ruins to tell you all about the history of this furnace. Was very interesting and is on the outskirts of Lithgow and was not hard to find. Free to access.
