Following the old Zig Zag Railway Line that was once used to transport coal from Newnes Plateau between 1881 to 1931, embark on a 6-kilometre journey along the Glow Worm Tunnel Walking Track for an enchanting experience of dazzling glow worms through scenic natural beauty.

As you walk along the mostly flat and well-maintained track, imagine the hustle and bustle of the bygone era, the rhythmic chug of the steam trains echoing through the valley. Remnants of the railway sleepers and bridges add a touch of nostalgia to the walk. The trail winds its way through a lush and vibrant forest. Towering eucalyptus trees with their fragrant leaves provide a welcome shade on a sunny day. The walk culminates in the Glow Worm Tunnel, which has a historical past and has now transformed into a magical cavern illuminated by thousands of tiny glow worms. As your eyes adjust to the darkness, the tunnel comes alive with their bioluminescent glow, creating a mesmerising spectacle.

Perfect for the whole family, the short distance and easy terrain make it manageable for all fitness levels. The combination of history, nature, and the awe-inspiring glow worms creates a memorable experience. So come on a journey through history, a chance to connect with nature, and a spark of wonder.
