Wollemi National Park is just 100 km north-west of Australia's largest city, Sydney and yet it contains the largest wilderness area in New South Wales. The park, which contains a number of rugged and inaccessible areas is the home of the recently discovered Wollemi Pine - the dinosaur of the plant world. Their location is, however, a well kept secret.

The glow worm tunnel is a disused railway tunnel, so the walks to get there are reasonably flat and easily accessible from the car park.
