From Sydney

Head west from Sydney across the Blue Mountains, either via Katoomba or via Richmond and Bell. Pass Lithgow and take the Castlereagh Highway toward Mudgee. About 3-4 kms along the Castlereagh Hwy is the Wallerawang Power Station on the left and a service station on the right. Watch for the advance signs saying “Lidsdale”. Turn right here onto the Wolgan Road. Drive through Lidsdale – be careful of the speed through town – it is 50km/hr. There is often a speed trap here.  Follow this road all the way to the end – it is 34kms. The road to Newnes is now sealed up until the old corn paddock!
