Hartley historic site, Heritage site in New South Wales, Australia
Located near Lithgow at the western edge of the Blue Mountains, Hartley Historic Site contains numerous sandstone buildings from colonial times.
The settlement gained importance in 1837 with the construction of a courthouse, establishing itself as a government administrative center on the western road.
The granite rock formation called Kew-Y-Ahn behind the visitor center maintains deep connections with Aboriginal heritage in the region.
The visitor center welcomes guests from 10 AM to 4 PM, with a lunch break between 1 PM and 1:30 PM, remaining closed on Mondays.
The former post office within the historic site maintained operations until 1982, making it the longest-functioning postal facility in Australia.
