NSW Women’s Week walk - Lost City
In conjunction with Bushwalking NSW, Women's Week, which is a statewide bushwalking event, I am leading this trip. This will be open to visitors as well. The Lost City walking track offers a unique and stunning outlook relatively close to Lithgow. Within the Gardens of Stone State Conservation Area, you will experience sandstone pagodas, tranquil creeks, and historic mining relics all on a well formed track. The highlights are two heritage dams that were constructed in the 1920s to supply water to Lithgow until the late 1980s and the chance to explore the distinctive pagodas up close, all with most incredible pagoda scenery that the mountains. Also we will also be on the lookout for gang gang cockatoos, scarlett robins or south-eastern glossy black cockatoos.
