Ferntree Gully is a stunning rainforest area 17 kilometres north of Rylstone. There are many walking tracks at Ferntree Gully that take you down into the cool narrow fern-tree studded valley floor, and/or around the top edge of the rocks with amazing views towards the valley and the unusual rock formations on either side.
A loop walk takes you through unique plant communities from western dry sclerophyll to the lush rainforest in and around a deep and narrow gully of eroded sandstone rock. Allow one hour to complete the loop walk and to enjoy the rock formations, ferns and orchids along the way. Take food and water. The walk through the gully, returning via the top track requires a reasonable fitness level.
Look out for large fig trees, the Pandora pandoreana with its entangled maze of roots and unique rock orchids.
Keep an eye out for a lyrebird, rare powerful owl, scrub turkey or a glossy black cockatoo. Echidnas, marsupial mice, and several snake species are also found here, along with grey kangaroos, wombats and wallabies.

Rylstone is a heritage village on the western edge of the Blue Mountains, 238 km north-west of Sydney. The town acts as a gateway to the World Heritage-listed Wollemi National Park to the east and the scenic Capertee Valley to the south. Rylstone is noted for its lovely stone buildings. Not only are the administrative buildings along Louee Street and the four churches made from local sandstone, but also private homes and businesses. Most were constructed between 1865 and 1895.

Kandos is the town that made the cement that made your town.
Established by the cement works in 1914, Kandos thrived as a modern 20th-century town in a spectacular rural setting. With the cement works closing in 2012, Kandos Museum has a vital role in preserving the town’s industrial and social history.
The museum is a community-run permanent home for a collection of stories, objects and photographs that bring this history to life. Kandos Museum is owned and operated by Kandos Museum Incorporated, a not-for-profit, New South Wales incorporated association.
