    My father grew up in Lithgow in the 20s and 30s, his father having mining interests there. At weekends, my father, his brother and their mates used catch a train to one of the stations on the way to Bell, and go exploring. In due course, my father took us to the various places mentioned here, and it's great to see them again.
    I've recently been visiting some of the area south from the Bell's Line. An interesting walk is from the parking area at the end of the Pierce's Pass road. This takes you along a pretty easy path to Rigby Hill - I know the Rigby after whom it's named. There is one section where the path goes along a narrow ledge where you need to exercise care. As the path goes through knee. high grass, it's not one for summer. There are great views south towards Blackheath and Govett's Leap, and east down the Grose Valley

      That’s awesome, my grandparents grew up in Portland, also mining background.
      There are so many places up there and im sure some have been forgotten about and soon to be lost with national parks slowly shutting us out. Its such a great area and we are lucky to have it here so close.

      @@shaddonaghue The whole area from Oberon through to Mudgee and Gulgong is perhaps my favourite part of the State, rivalled only by Pearl Beach (in the days before the glitterati found it). About 15 or so years ago, my niece bought a property outside Gulgong and is carrying on the family links to the area.

      Thanks mate, have a google on Barcoo campground, its a bush camp just off glow worm tunnel rd its on galah mountain rd. Its a nice spot, also close to glow worm tunnel so could use that as a base. Glow worm tunnel road has been recently upgraded so its not too bad at the moment, deep pass road has been graded as well.
