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

Equipment: Nikon D300, Nikon 18-200mm lens

    Of the two valley shot this is the one I prefer, you still see the magnitude of the cliffs compared to what are quite enormous buildings. I feel this is a much better angle and the photograph has a better flow to it. My eyes were drawn to all of the different aspects no matter where I began viewing it from. Congratulations :)

    Its great just wantering around the old town and seeing what remains, and the drive to the town of Capertee is a pretty drive. I can see you have fun with your camera. Well done and thanks for sharing.

  • yes the drive in is pretty good , the ropad is reasonable condition too
