Lithgow's Dirty Little Secret

Did Lithgow lie about solar heating the local swimming pool to rack up points for the coveted 2011 Tidy Town Awards? Read on. 

Things to Do

Craft Works Distillery

Award-winning single malt whiskeys about a 30 minute drive from Lithgow in Capertree

Glow Worm Cave Hike

Once an abandoned railway tunnel, nature has taken back over and is now home to millions of glittery party bugs. Option to do the 2km glow worm cave only or the longer 7.5km Wolgan Valley Loop

Jannei Dairy

Making some of NSW's best goat cheese, open 9-5 Thurs-Sat. About 15 minutes out of Lithgow, on the way to the distillery..

Looking For Some Culcha?

Who isn't. Have a squizz at the current exhibitions  of local artists!

Hassans Walls Lookout

The highest lookout in the Blue Mountains is a ten-minute drive to the edge of the escarpment south of Lithgow’s CBD. Survey your Kingdom.

Lithgow Small Arms Factory Museum

Dissappointingly, not a museum of tiny limbs. A bunch of guns.

More Activities

Ever wondered where Charles Darwin saw his first platypus? Do you want to go to Iron Fest? Visit a definitely haunted ghost town? Same.
