straight off the plane and out to the country we go, this time to Lithgow, the track in the national park to the glow worm tunnel, which is actually an old railway tunnel from back in the mining days
So arrived yesterday, and today in the country, love it. But sadly we were out Lithgow way for a funeral, but as it was school holidays, we turned it into a little trip for the kids as well.
The dark space in the middle of those ferns is the entrance to the tunnel, its a big tunnel ( big enough for a train )it has just become very overgrown with these lush ferns leading to the entrance
inside the tunnel, and yes, we saw lots and lots of glow worms, but just could not capture it on camera. I t was pretty spectacular
that's 3 kids, one with a tiny torch, and the other two lit up, but alas, no glow worms captured
light at the other end of the tunnel
again, very lush on the other side, feels like we arrived in the " lost Land "
Jacqui and Evan tunred back to the car, while the girls and I continue on exploring
very lush out here
walking along the track, so much dampness in the air ,even though it is a blue sky day. Would be nice to come back one day on a hot summer day
crossing little creek on a tree branch
the entrance to the tunnel on our return journey
the girls at the entrance
at the entrance still but this time, me inside looking out
after 5 min in the dark, we arrived back at the start of the tunnel
made it. Lithgow's Glow worm tunnel, well worth a visit, bring a torch, but not a big powerfull one, small one will do, let your eyes adjust to the darkness, and you will see thouands of glow worms
