The Historic Newnes Railway and Glowworm Tunnel
Overview
On foot explore the Gardens of Stone canyon country before tracing the embankments of the former Wolgan Valley Railway to the iconic Glowworm Tunnel.
Your guides connect the landscape with its industrial past — shale‑oil works, 19th century railways and remote settlements — while you experience classic pagoda formations, breath taking views, cool canyons and, conditions permitting, a riverside stop and swim before shuffling into the cool darkness of the glowworm tunnel with its starry canopy of bioluminescent larvae!
The hike is located in the heart of the Wollemi National Park and participants will need to be able to walk over rough tracks and trails, climb steps and descend steep gradients carrying a light pack for a distance of 10kms for approximately 5 hours. National Parks grade sections of the walk as medium/ hard
