Hi! I'm Allan Watson and I would like to thank you for visiting my Newnes Services web site.
Do come and visit Newnes some day. The Wolgan Valley is very scenic and you will find Newnes to be a very interesting place. Although the kiosk usually only operates at weekends, most of the other sights at Newnes, including the ruins of the oil-shale works and the Glow-worm tunnel, are open-access and can be visited at any time of the week.
