I want to take my 9-year old girl and show her the glow worm tunnel at Newnes, near Lithgow. I've been telling her about it since she was 7 and now that I finally have a 4WD for a bit of adventure in her life as she's growing up, I want to do the trip. I remember visiting it when I was 15, but that's the only time I've been there. Back then, we drove up to near the entrance in an XB Falcon and walked a short distance, but that's all I remember about that particular trip. Now that way of getting there, I can manage without referencing a map too much.

I've heard that you can approach the tunnel from the east by driving along an old (hopefully disused) railway track, and that's the route I want to take. Can anyone direct me? I'd love to do it this way as the look on my ex-wife's face when my daughter goes back home and starts spouting off to her excitedly about how Daddy took her exploring along a railway line to a cave with these glow worms would surely be MasterCard Priceless :)

I'm not mean, just misunderstood. [insert innocent look here]
