Nature around Kandos
Kandos is a gateway to the wonderland of Wollemi National Park, the rugged home of one of the rarest plants in the world, the Wollemi Pine, and other endangered and threatened species of plants, marsupials and birds. It's a great base for bushwalking, water sports and enjoying the great outdoors.
About Kandos
Kandos is located in the Capertee Valley on the western edge of the Blue Mountains, 231 km north-west of Sydney. It was established in 1913, when the New South Wales Cement Lime and Coal Company was set up to take advantage of local supplies of limestone, which was lifted from the quarries by an enormous aerial ropeway.
Discover local social and industrial history at the Kandos Bicentennial Museum. Further afield are the beautiful crags, gorges and forests of Wollemi National Park, part of Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.
