Lithgow, Administrative center in New South Wales, Australia
Lithgow extends across seven valleys in the Central Tablelands region, positioned 150 kilometers northwest of Sydney at an elevation of 950 meters.
The establishment of coal mines and the Lithgow Valley railway line in 1869 transformed the settlement into a substantial industrial center for New South Wales.
The annual Lithgow Show brings together regional farmers, artisans, and performers to display agricultural products, traditional crafts, and local entertainment.
Visitors reach Lithgow through the Great Western Highway or regular NSW TrainLink services, with the railway station functioning as a major regional transport hub.
The Lithgow Valley Colliery and Pottery Site contains industrial remnants from Australia's first commercially successful steel mill, now preserved at Blast Furnace Park.
