Changed a lot from when I remember the gap rd 60 plus years ago .Still a beautiful memory.
Pioneers could get trains down there, but today's road builders? Go figure 🤷♀️
Authorised road users are advised to proceed with caution on the Donkey Steps track this morning with limbs from a large dead tree hanging over ‘Checkpoint 2’. Lithgow City Council has been notified and advised that it will be attended to shortly.

It’s 12 months to the day that a landslip closed Wolgan Gap cutting off Wolgan Valley to the outside world. Everything changed that day for our community and we continue to live with the effects every day. Whether the valley and our community will ever be the same remains to be seen, but here’s hoping that todays meeting with Lithgow City Council and WSP Golder regarding the proposed new road alignment will be positive and a step in the right direction.

Please know, there is a huge number of people thinking of you all and hoping for a permanent resolution
I believe this should be a state government issue ??? What if the eastern suburbs was cut off for 12 months ??? I feel for the residents and also the council trying to live with and resolve this issue !!

Off the beaten track: forgotten valley’s lockout disaster

First came the fires, then came the rains and then the road gave way – the only road in and out. By crow, the Wolgan Valley is less than 100km from the outskirts of Sydney, yet it is now one of the ...Comment on Facebook
Ok so my question is why can't the three tires of government agree to buy two helicopters, price approximately $1 million, and agree to pay the ongoing costs? This would save $29 million and the problem would be addressed immediately. How hasn't anyone thought of this??
Has no one got something interesting to add to this discussion????
