Glen Davis, New South Wales - Historic Shale Oil Town
A huge thank you to Miss Alex my guide and especially to Mary and John the current owners of the property.
Glen Davis is an old shale-mining town on the Capertee River, 35 km east of Capertee on the eastern rim of the Capertee Valley (The widest valley in the world and larger than the Grand Canyon in the United States)
The first mining tunnel, established in 1881, later became the basis of the major mining enterprise which opened in 1938. A town of some 2500 people developed around the mine, which was named Glen Davis after the Davis Gelatine interests who headed the mining consortium.
The operation closed down in 1952 due to high costs and the increasingly small output, leaving what remains today – crumbling furnace ruins, retorts and collapsed shafts covered in vegetation and surrounded by steep sandstone cliffs and a profuse array of bird & wild life.

The Lost City - Near Lithgow NSW
Just out of Lithgow, a couple of hours' drive west of Sydney, NSW's 'Lost City' is an easy 4WD destination and well worth a visit. The spectacular weathered, beehive-shaped, Hawkesbury sandstone formations are quite a sight.
There are probably more 'Lost Cities' around Australia than Native Dog Creeks, and that's really a big claim! In the Northern Territory, Litchfield National Park has a Lost City. There's another in the Gulf. All have one thing in common - spectacular geological formations.
