Fairly extensvie GPS track log starting at Windsor and proceeding via the Zig Zag Railway to the Glow-Worm Tunnel, then via Blackfellows Hand Trail and several other to a lookout over the Wolgan Valley. From there it takes you down into the valley itself, all the way to Newnes Campground and the old Oil Shale Refinery. Coming back we take an alternate track across the Newnes Plateau, through several scenic gorges and ridges until we meet back up and the Bungleboori campground and proceed back to Zig-Zag and home.
Can be done in a single day, although it is best done over a weekend with a camp at the Newnes campground, a brilliant little spot near the river with plenty of rough tracks to explore. Canyons, bushwalking, historic sites surround the campground. On the logging and firetrails of the Newnes plateau, there are plenty of wild animlas to see, breathtaking scenery and a few challenging ascents/descents once you get off the logging trails.
