Popular Zig Zag Railway at Lithgow
About the town Lithgow’s community has kept a town that has developed dramatically commercially, in pristine condition and has never compromised its beauty and cleanliness. With thousands of visitors stopping here from both directions, Lithgow caters for all modern needs and features McDonalds, Shopping centers, Petrol Stations, Pubs, Restaurants and more, all laid out in a careful yet unobtrusive way which epitomises Western New South Wales as much as the views and hospitality.

A major attraction is the Zig Zag Railway. A railway line from Lithgow to Clarence that is kept open as a tourist attraction on weekends and public holidays. Winding throught he mountain and under tunnels, the tradition and grandeur of the old steam engine captivates the imaginiations of young and old.

So whether its entertainment or extra supplies that you need, rest assured that Lithgow will be able to sort you out, and factor a stop into your planning!
