A sleepy little country town

 

alt

alt

in a steep, rugged,
little sun-drenched valley

being a gateway to the vast Wiradjuri tribal lands to the west, and a meeting place for the Gundungurra people in the east and the Dharug in the south-east.
alt

Noted for its quaint

alt

 

alt

sometimes sober

alt

alt

alt

and sometimes eccentric architecture,

alt

some of it as a result of a rich industrial past.

alt

Lithgow was once touted as
the Birmingham of Australia,

alt

but alas....

alt
alt


the environment won out!

Lithgow is a great place to bring up kids.
