Overlooking the magnificent Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area is The Tablelands region, home of awe inspiring
ancient wonders such as the Wollemi pine and stone pagodas. Its sandstone cliffs and valleys, carved over 250 million years, are home to the world’s most diverse eucalypt forests.
As a visitor, you can walk, cycle, ride horses, float on a lilo, and abseil. You can do this through canyons, along wild rivers, and on bush tracks and farm land. Bypass Sydney and travel back through time in well pre-served historic villages, early European inland settlements and Australia’s first inland city. Alternatively, you can simply kick back with down to earth locals and taste the wonderful home cooking of The Tablelands Way experience's many bed & breakfasts.
The Tablelands Way experience accesses many of the region’s more remote and unexplored treasures. Follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin or step into the shoes of Australia's pioneers. Observe the nectar
eating parrots feast on gum flowers and spot the masked owl hiding in a tree hollow. Savour the subtle flavours of cold climate wines or watch a lyrebird strutting its stuff. See the platypus dart through the rivers, and discover remote gorges that hide the Wollemi pine. Experience the road less travelled.

With tranquil vistas and serene landscapes,
the environment that surrounds the region is abundant in wildlife and picturesque mountain panoramas.
Commonly seen in Lithgow is the gloriously coloured rainbow bee-eater as well as the crested shrike-tit, white-winged chough, sulphur-crested cockatoo, wood duck, masked lapwing and the black-faced cuckoo-shrike. Along Crown Station Road, you may even be able to spot an endangered turquoise parrot.
Australia’s native animals are generally nocturnal, so it can be a challenge to spot them in the wild. By understanding a little more about where and how the animals live, you can increase your chances of an encounter. Insights into different ecosystems, and seasonality, will help you to discover rare treasures in the wild. These treasures might be wild waratahs, or perhaps iron bark gum flowers, an
important food source of the endangered regent honeyeater.
The Capertee Valley is an outstanding area for animal encounters. It is home to the largest diversity, and the highest population, of birds in the southern hemisphere. The altitude of the land varies along the valley resulting in a great diversity of plant species, which in
turn attract the different bird communities. Old growth forests allow carnivorous predatory birds to roost. Riverbank environments are dominated by casuarinas (river oaks), which attract seed eaters. Nectar eaters feed off the
blooms of eucalypts, as well as flowering plants beneath their canopy.

Mountain Bike and Walking TrailsFire, rain and conservation interests can impact on how much wilderness area is open for adventure. It is always important to check in with National Parks Wildlife Service to see what is accessible and how best to get there.
Fire trailsMountain bikes can travel on most fire trails in Kanangra-Boyd National Park and the Blue Mountains, although some are limited to bushwalkers. The most popular fire trails for recreation are:
Boyd River Fire TrailKowmung River Fire TrailKanangra Walls Road
It is important to check in with National Parks before heading to Mount Thurat Fire Trail and King Pin Fire Trail.
Six Foot trackThe Six Foot track is a 42km track from Jenolan to Katoomba. It was surveyed in 1884 and was originally a bridle track, but today it is popular with walkers.
Bicentennial National Trail- Hampton to Mount WerongYou can join the Bicentennial National Trail at the picturesque village of Hampton, and from there travel through Jenolan State Forest. You will find camping spots at Boggy Creek and Jenolan Caves. From Jenolan you can cycle through farmland
before reaching Gurang State Forest and Tuglow River. Travelling south the tracks cuts through the Kanangra-Boyd National Park to the deserted mining settlement of Mount Werong. The trail crosses the Oberon- Colong Stock route and then follows a fire trail through Blue Mountains National Park. Ask at Oberon Visitor Information Centre for more detailed information on the Bicentennial National Trail.
Oberon-Tarana Historic Rail TrailThis road passes through forest and countryside. Lovingly restored, the route is now open to cyclists and walkers. It passes heritage stations and bridges, caves, creeks, rivers and secluded picnic areas. The journey along the trail also passes Evans Crown, an unusual formation of giant granite tors on a hill top, and a storyplace in Aboriginal dreamtime.
Wilderness AdventuresExplore the abyss canyonsThere are six great abyss canyons in Kanangra-Boyd National Park. Kanangra Deep is the most accessible. Experienced bushwalkers can access this spectacular canyon by walking beyond Kanangra Walls. Morong Deep is accessible to experienced bushwalkers, from Dingo Dell camping ground. Ask at Oberon Visitor Information Centre for the best way to experience the abyss canyons.

CanyoningThere are 12 popular adventure canyons in Kanangra-Boyd National Park. They tend to be open canyons, unlike the dark slot canyons of Wollemi National Park and Gardens of Stone National Park. Kanangra-Boyd has a mixture of dry canyons and waterfall canyons. If you are not an experienced canyonist but would like to learn, hire a guide and start some of the elementary canyons.

Where the grandeur of the past and convenience of the present meet.
Around 450 million years ago, life from an ancient coral reef fell to the ocean floor beginning a process of creation that lasted hundreds of millions of years. The results of this process are features such as the awe inspiring Jenolan Caves.
During this period so very long ago, a variety of factors have had a hand in creating the trail of geological marvels throughout
the Tablelands region. These include uplifts of earth, river and marine deposits, volcanic activity, ancient swamplands, and erosion by rain, wind and running water.
Even the lyrebird has played its part. While excavating for food or building nest mounds, these birds turn over an average of 63 tonnes of debris per hectare every year. Wombat burrows also alter the soil profile.
Sandstone Valleys and EscarpmentsSpectacular views of sandstone escarpments can be seen all along the Tablelands region. Its northern perimeter is in the Wollemi National Park and its southern tip can be seen at Kanangra Walls in the Kanangra-Boyd National Park.
Slot Canyons of Wollemi National ParkThe Wollemi National Park is formed mostly from Narrabeen and Hawkesbury sandstone laid down up to 250 million years ago. Over millions of years, the rivers and creeks have eroded the soft sandstone to form enormous valleys and sheer escarpments. Wollemi National Park is also home to the largest collection of slot canyons. Canyons run 30km east to west and 100km north to south. Slot canyons are narrow canyons in the sandstone which are formed by water rushing through the rocks. The hard sandstone on top is resistant to effects of the water, whereas areas of softer shales and softer sandstone below erode faster, forming the canyons. These slot canyons range from 1m to 3m wide and are up to 30m deep. Some canyons are dry, while others have creeks running in them. Well prepared canyoners climb, abseil and swim through slot canyons.
The Blue Breaks, Kanangra-Boyd National ParkThe Blue Breaks are deep within the Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness Area and are accessible by experienced walkers only. There are walks into the Blue Breaks from Kanangra Walls and Yerranderie, with the Axehead Range ridge walk considered one of the most spectacular ridge walks in the state.
Capertee Valley, Gardens of Stone National ParkThe Capertee Valley is accessible by car, and can be viewed from a number of look outs. It is the second largest naturally eroded river valley in the world, after the Grand Canyon. In fact, though the Grand Canyon is deeper, Capertee Valley is both wider and longer than its American counterpart. Under the Capertee sandstone canyon lie layers of coal and oil shale.
Pantoneys Crown, Gardens of Stone National ParkPantoneys Crown is a flat topped mountain that towers up from within the Capertee Valley. It is named after William Pantoney, who in 1821 became one of the first Europeans in the area. The mountain rises 550m above the Capertee Valley to an altitude of 1020m.
There are great views of Pantoneys Crown from Pearsons lookout, on Mudgee Road. Walkers who climb to the summit of Pantoneys Crown have the most commanding view of all - a 360 degree view of Capertee Valley.
Stone PagodasWollemi National Park, Gardens of Stone National Park and Newnes State Forest are home to a series of mystical stone pagodas. The pagodas were formed from sandstone hardened by layers of ironstone, which is more resistant to erosion than the softer sandstone around it.
One of the finest collections of pagodas can be found in the Newnes State Forest. Looking like the ruins of an ancient settlement, it is the known as the Lost City. You can access the Lost City by 4WD or
mountain bike from the Bells Line of Road. You can also see the pagodas at the Dunns Swamp picnic and camping ground, in Wollemi National Park.
Volcanic ActivityAncient volcanic activity has left its mark on the Tablelands region. Yerranderie is an extinct volcano, while Mount Tomah, Mount Wilson, Mount Banks and Mount Colong are mountains capped with a thin layer of volcanic basalt. An awe inspiring relic of ancient volcanic activity can be found at Evans Crown.
Evans CrownLocated south-east of the village of Tarana, Evans Crown is an outcropping of granite along a high ridge-line. The granite has weathered into sphere-like formations known as tors. Its prominence in the landscape may have contributed to its high significance for the Wiradjuri people as a meeting place, initiation and ceremonial site. Granite quarried at Evans Crown can be found in the Commonwealth Bank building in Martin Place, Sydney. Evans granite is formed when magma that was cooled underground has been exposed though erosion.
Jenolan CavesThe Jenolan Caves are one of Australia’s oldest tourist attractions, and remains one of its most cherished. At approximately 340 million years old, Jenolan is significantly older than any other open cave system in the world. It is regarded as Australia’s most outstanding cave system, with 350 recorded entrances. It is believed that the complex is largely an interconnected system with different chambers, each one linked to another. Not all of the connections have been located, and caves and passageways continue to be discovered. 11 spectacular show caves, pure underground rivers and beautiful limestone formations give visitors a wonderful glimpse of this beautiful underground landscape.
Geological Wonders of theTablelands Way Experience
River Cave, Jenolan

If you never like to be too far away from your next vineyard opportunity, then this could well be the region for you. At either end of the Tablelands
Way, wineries abound. In the south is the exciting and rapidly developing (both in terms of quantity and quality) Canberra District and at the northern end, the world renowned Hunter Valley. If this were not enough, you can continue to indulge your palate as you make your way through the region with wineries close to Oberon and of course in the historic Mudgee region.
Only two of the Canberra District’s wineries fall within the borders of the Australian Capital Territory with the rest hugging the border on the New South Wales side, but they retain an identity tied to the nation’s capital.
Stretching from Yass in the west to Lake George in the east, the Canberra district experiences a greater degree of variation in climate and altitude than almost any other region. This varied elevation, between 300m and 800m, results in a region that can successfully produce wine to suit every palate. Cool climate varietals such as Riesling and Pinot Noir are grown on higher ground and at lower altitude than classic rich full bodied Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon is produced.
While the first vines were planted in Yass as far back as 1850, in reality the region is a young one. The cultivation of grapes for the production of wine was only reintroduced
when Dr Edgar Riek planted his first vineyard on the edge of Lake George, in 1971. There are now more than 100 vineyards and 30 wineries. Whichever style of tasting you prefer, you will find a winery to suit.
Like the Canberra region, Mudgee has developed enormously in recent years and
while it’s ultimately a warm region, it enjoys the benefits of cool nights by virtue of its inland location. This benefits the wine-maker by allowing the vine to cool and rest overnight, thus lengthening the period of ripening and allowing the fruit to develop intense flavours while maintaining a good level of natural acidity.
Mudgee is famed primarily for its reds which display a robust earthy character and density of flavour that experts attribute to the peculiarities of the regions volcanic soil. Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon dominate the landscape, accounting for well over half of all grapes grown. Merlot is increasingly evident, and Mudgee can boast being at the forefront of the current boom in Italian varietals. If you have not already tried a Sangiovese or a Nebbiolo, where better than at one Mudgee’s many cellar doors.
The white wine drinker need not despair however; their tastes will be well catered for too. Mudgee has long been a producer of wonderful Chardonnays, with its continental climate allowing the winemaker to capture intense flavours of fig and peach, perfectly balanced with a clean natural acidity.
Whatever your preference, you will be able to find it in Mudgee’s more than 40 cellar door outlets.
Finally we come to the Hunter Valley, Australia’s oldest and one of its most famous viticultural areas. It was as far back as the 1820s that the first grapes were cultivated. In 1843, Dr Henry Lindeman planted his first vines and soon afterward the Tyrrell and Drayton families started the businesses that still bear their names today.
It has been said that the production of fine wine in the Hunter Valley is a triumph of ingenuity over environment because by rights, it should not be possible. Summers are too hot, winters too cool, rainfall is in short supply and if that were not enough, its position between the Great Dividing Range and the Pacific Ocean lays it open to occasional extremes of weather such as hail and rain storms. This of course makes the achievements of the vignerons, who consistently produce world class wines in an area so seemingly ill equipped, all the more impressive.
You can pay homage to their remarkable achievements at countless cellar doors. At Rosemount Estate you can find the Rosemount Roxburgh Chardonnay, a genuinely world class wine which comes at a price. If you are after something a little more affordable, the region has wines to suit all tastes and budgets, including the region’s speciality - Semillon, which is rarely found elsewhere as a single varietal table wine. For the lover of red, it’s the Shiraz, the variety that put the Hunter Valley winemaking zone on the map, which dominates, though the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon are increasingly successfully grown.
Travelling the Tablelands Way is a wine lover’s delight.
