Description

The Glow Worm Glen trail was damaged in the 2020 bushfires and is expected to reopen in Feb-Mar 2023. One of the great evening activities for visitors is a trip down to glow worm glen. With a bit of care you can ensure to see a great light show while minimising impact on these luminescent locals. A good idea is to start the walk down to the glen at sunset and this way it will be dark by the time you reach the glen. Drive to William Street, on the right on the Moss Vale side of town. Park at the top end of William Street. From here a steep track descends towards the glen. It will be pitch dark (especially if you turn off your torches). The return trip will take about 1 hour. Add your glow worm viewing time onto this. The best time to see the glow worms is from December to February. In order to ensure a rewarding experience (that wont disturb the glow worms and other local residents please: Be respectful to the local residents, only park at the top end of William Street Visit the glen in small groups as loud noisy groups may cause the glow worms to retreat into their crevices Hold your torches down on the approach to the viewing platform then switch them off if the glowworms sense the lights they will switch off, as they will think it is daytime Do not touch the glowworms as they are sensitive to touch and will retreat into their crevices Avoid wearing insect repellant or smoking No camping or overnight parking.
