| Wolgan Gap, where the road enters the Wolgan Valley. |
For the first few kilometres the valley is fairly narrow and the cliffs stay close at hand. |
 |
 |
| Before long, the valley broadens out. At this point, the western cliffs form part of the Australian 'Great
Dividing Range'. |

| The road eventually turns east-north-east. Ahead lies Woolpack rock and the northern wall of the valley.

| The entrance to the Emirates Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa. At this point, the road to Newnes turns left
and heads northwards. The Glow-worm tunnel is in the gorge in the right background while the railway formation crosses
the talus in the centre background. The walk to the Glow-worm tunnel starts from the Wolgan Road a further 1.5km towards
Newnes. |
For the last 8km to Newnes, the road follows the Wolgan River through the outskirts of Wollemi National
Park. Care is needed here as the road is narrow and winding. Wombats and wallabies are additional road hazards when
travelling at dusk or at night. This photo was taken near the start of the Glow-worm tunnel walk. |
