The following are some other places in the Lithgow area (and most have some connection with Newnes) that you might like to visit. We have not visited them all ourselves, so comments here are rather brief. They have been included because some visitors have asked us about them for some reason or other. For further details of these and other interesting places in the Lithgow district, contact the Lithgow Visitors Centre.

Warning - Misuse of the name "Newnes"

The plateau country south of Newnes and extending back to Clarence, is generally known as the "Newnes Plateau" and contains the "Newnes State Forest". Most of the places listed below relate to this area which is centred on "Bungleboori", a picnic area at an important road junction. Unfortunately, some people are tending to call the plateau area "Newnes", which has mislead and confused some people in the past. This is particularly a problem when one realises that it is over 50km between Newnes and Bungleboori by the shortest vehicular route.
