Write a reviewThe Glow Worms are located in an old rail tunnel 400 metres in length. It was originally constructed as part of the railway line to Newnes Kerosene Shale Works. The line was dismantled c1940s. The tunnel is located 40kms from Lithgow on the Newnes Plateau. Good walking shoes and a torch are required for the walk through the tunnel. The glow worms found in the tunnel are the larvae of the fungus gnat. The blue glow, of the larvae is the result of a chemical reaction in the body of the glowworm. The larvaes' glow lures their prey - such as mosquitos closer to them.
