Description

Only accessible on weekends by appointment. The former oil shale mining town lies at the end of the spectacular escarpments of the Capertee Valley, the largest enclosed valley in the southern hemisphere. In its heyday about 2,500 people lived in the township. Vertical sandstone cliffs stand guard over the crumbling vegetation covered structures lending a surreal impression. No camping or overnight parking. Ring John 0413 963 438 or email Graeme gdosw@pnddistribution.com Historic walking tours depart every Saturday at 2pm and 5pm during daylight saving hours.
