Lithgow

The Central Tablelands are home to Lithgow, New South Wales. It is located in Lithgow’s Valley, which was named by settler John Oxley in honour of the first Auditor-General of the state, William Lithgow. The city resides on the Great Western Highway, just a two hour drive from Sydney. If you take the old mountain route, Bells Line of Road, you’d leave from Windsor to get to Sydney. It is frequently considered the first country town encountered as you travel west from Sydney. If you travel another 60 kilometres west of Lithgow, you’ll find yourself in Bathurst. Lithgow is in the Blue Mountains, on the western edge of sandstone country. In its earlier history, the Lithgow/Blue Mountain area was problematic to the railroads because of the terrain. The expense of constructing lengthy tunnels through the mountains led to the building of the Great Zig Zag Railway in the 1860s. Parts of this railway exist today and are a popular tourist attraction. Lithgow is in a coal mining district and has two coal-fueled power stations, Mount Piper and Wallerawang. Both stations are under the operation of Delta Electricity. There are eight heritage sites in Lithgow, listed on the Register of the National Estate.

McKanes Falls Bridge

There are seven remaining McDonald timber truss road bridges in New South Wales. One of them is in Lithgow, the McKanes Falls Bridge. The two truss spans are 90-feet long. Sandstone masonry bridge abutments support the long wooden trusses. The stone centre pier was built in 1893, but was replaced by concrete following a 1980 flood’s irreparable damage. Although the bridge is nonfunctional, it can be viewed as a scenic engineering attraction.
