About the Mt Kembla Memorial Pathway rail trail

The Mt Kembla Memorial Pathway is only 2km but it explains a lot of the coal mining history of this area near Wollongong

This up-and-back rail trail starts as a smooth asphalt path suitable for a wide range of abilities but gets tougher above the site of the coal loading area at Kirkwood Pl, which was not part of the railway line.

The bottom section of the path has been squeezed in next to the railway [2025]

A short section of the railbed retained for your viewing pleasure [2025]
