Awaba – Wangi Wangi Rail Trail
Newcastle region, NSW
At a Glance
About This Trail
This potential 10km rail trail would be a useful link between the small village of Awaba with its station on the Sydney-Newcastle rail line, and Wangi Wangi and other lake-side suburbs on the western shores of Lake Macquarie. Its eastern end would be the disused and state heritage listed Wangi Wangi Power Station. On the way it passes through attractive bush and some deep cuttings. The major attraction of the trail, apart from the features en-route, is the lake-side suburbs of western Lake Macquarie and opportunities for water based recreation, sightseeing and dining. The trail would commence south west of the existing Awaba Railway Station. From there it quickly enters the bushland which is typical of the trail. Awaba Colliery site is reached after approximately 1km. There are several deep cuttings along the route.
