BETTER VIEWED LARGER
The former oil shale mining town lies at the end of the spectacular escarpments of the Capertee Valley, the largest enclosed valley in the southern hemisphere.
In its heyday about 2,500 people lived in the township. Vertical sandstone cliffs stand guard over the crumbling vegetation covered structures lending a surreal impression.
The site backs onto the Gardens Of Stone and Wolemni National Parks which are part of The Blue Mountains World Heritage Area

Wow Philip this looks interesting – did you get to go through the old site. Wonderful work with this image!
Bev , yes this was taken on the tour of the site , which includes a bit of a uphill bushwalk to the entrance of the old mine. Which was actually half the way up the mountainside. Suggest good shoes and plenty of aeroguard lol
