Best way to spend NYE. And about an hour and half away from Sydney 🙏
Best way to spend NYE. And about an hour and half away from Sydney 🙏
NYE: Reaching the waterfall requires going off the track and absailing down a small cliff. Probably the best place Ive seen in NSW so far
The Helensburgh station was closed in 1915 & is an integral part of Sydney's rail history. It's abb awesome area to explore and perhaps see some glow worms!
Abandoned in the early 1900's this old train station and tunnel was only rediscovered in 1995. #ontheroad #history
