Tunnel, Wombeyan Road

from Powerhouse Museum

• Ian Sanderson said:

  Wombeyan Caves are limestone caves to the west of the highway between Goulburn and Mittagong. There are two ways in - from the Goulburn to Oberon road, which is on a relatively straightforward sealed road, or from Mittagong which is a narrow, twisting unsealed road. This tunnel is on the road from Mittagong.

This is the right location (press 'Link' for ultra precise geo information buried in the URL) - maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=...
