One of the most popular and famous tracks surrounding Lithgow the Glow Worm Tunnel Walk goes through a spectacular old railway tunnel. With thousands of glow worms along the sides and roof of the tunnel a fascinating effect of the stars is produced. Remember, that it is necessary to be quiet so as not to disturb the glow worms. A torch is required - the tunnel is pretty long and it gets really dark in the middle.

Passing close by one of the prettiest campsites in the Blue Mountains (Deep Pass) the Nayook Canyon Bushtrack explores the beautiful Nayook Creek. Winding its way through the ferns on the creek bed, and climbing small cascading waterfalls and around rock-pools are all the delights of this walk. This track is even more attractive due to it circling around and back to the carpark.

With a steam train ride from the end of the walk back to the start its hard to criticise the Zig-Zag Railway Walk. Climbing to the ridges above the railway this track offers walkers the opportunity to watch the train as it puffs and hoots its way from Clarence Station to Bottom Points Station. And that's even before you have a chance to get on the train and rest all the way back to the start, or alternativley retrace your steps back.
