Newnes Ghost Town Industrial Ruins
Take a deep dive into the industrial heritage of the Wolgan Valley and the ghost town of Newnes. Over 3 days and 2 nights, we descend via the Pagoda Track and Old Coach Road to camp at Newnes by the Wolgan River. Day 2 is an exciting day of a light‑pack exploration of the town ruins, from retorts and brick kilns to tramways and workers' cottages learning about the hopes, dreams and stories of an entire community who trusted that this would one day be a thriving place. On Day 3 we exit the valley along the river, cross the ford, climb the steep vehicle road and hop back onto another section of railway to the Glowworm Tunnel, pass quietly through the tunnel (glowworm etiquette!), and then return to the car park for the drive home. Expert guides, good food and a unique experience.
Convict stories and The Old Great North Road
Trace the footsteps of convict road gangs on this 12 km loop through Dharug National Park. Ascend the beautifully engineered, World Heritage–listed Devines Hill road (part of the Old Great North Road) to a former stockade plateau. Then descend the steeper Finch's Line with sweeping views over the Hawkesbury River. Along the way, your guides — professional archaeologists and historians — unpack the human stories, engineering feats, and convict graffiti that still mark the stonework today.
Darks Cave - Enter the world of The Darks.
Hidden beneath towering sandstone cliffs near Leura lies Dark's Cave — a rugged sandstone overhang that became both a retreat and a place of inspiration for two of the Blue Mountains' most fascinating figures: Dr Eric Dark, a pioneering mountaineer, conservationist and social reformer, and Eleanor Dark, one of Australia's most celebrated novelists. On this half-day heritage hike, you'll follow in their footsteps, walking through magnificent Blue Mountains bushland, past dramatic views over the Grose Valley, before reaching the historic cave itself. Along the way, your professional guides — archaeologists and historians — bring the story of the Darks, their writing, politics, and adventurous spirit to life.
