The highest area in the City in the Sky, GR 2569 3246, 990m. Named by Yuri Bolotin on 7 August 2017.

See Donkey Mountain, north east section

Was a private village, constructed in 1889 for employees working the retort complex that processed kerosene shale transported by various means from the mines in the adjoining eastern valley of Airly.  Torbane School opened in October 1899 and closed in September 1920. Torbane in NSW was named after a village of that name in Scotland which came to be associated with the Boghead Deposits discovered in 1844. At the time, the mineral Torbanite became known as Boghead Mineral. Commercial extraction of oil on the shores of the North Sea dates back to 1851, when James Young retorted oil from Torbanite. Ref: Eardley, G H. and Stephens, E M. The Shale Railways of NSW, 1974, p. 99.

Is located on the western side of Mount Airly, below the line of pagodas known as the Great Wall of China. The balcony seems to exist due to a soft band of shale, very possibly an extension of the Mount York Claystone band that features throughout much of the area. It has eroded much faster than the sandstone and created a more or less continuous convoluted bench for a little more than 300m. Named by Peter Medbury, 16th December 2016.

Is located 750 m west of Mount Airly, below Torbane Balcony. Named by Yuri Bolotin and Peter Medbury on a bushwalk 14 June 2021.

Dimensionally, this feature is about 8 m high, 20 m long and has a variable width of 1 m to 20 cm; it is separated from the cliff line by a slot 1.5 m wide at one end and 30 cm wide at the other.".

Is a non perennial stream rising on the western slopes of Mount Airly. It flows generally north, north west for about 6km into Oaky Creek.

Was a railway platform, opened on 4th June 1900, closed on 21st September 1974. Ref: Forsyth, John. How and Why of Station Names, 2nd ed. 1982, p. 220. Carne, Joseph. Geological Map of the country in the vicinity of Capertee, 1900 shows Torbane Platform, Private Village of Torbane and Torbane Creek as Wallaby Oaky Creek.

Looking north, there are magnificent massive smooth and rounded pagodas, with further views over the Capertee Valley and Pantoneys Crown. Named by Yuri Bolotin, 29th August 2015 as the symbol of hope for protection of the entire Gardens of Stone area.

Was settled in the 1880s, following the discovery of shale oil in 1883. Proclaimed as such on the 4th September 1897, by the 1920s, it was a ghost town. The first lease on the southern portion of the Airly shale deposit was taken up by the original prospecting party of Messrs Melliday, Massey, Bulkeley, Nicholson and Larkin and was known as the Genowlan Mine. This group failed to meet the necessary labour conditions and the lease lapsed. A new lease of 420 acres was taken up by Mr D. Wilson in late 1890, in turn, this lease was purchased by a German owned syndicate called the Genowlan Shale Company. A more fulsome account of the changes in ownership of the various mining leases and the interlocking relationship between Airly with the adjoining village of Torbane is documented by Mills, and also by Taylor, Greg. J. The Glen Davis Story, History of the Capertee Valley Shale Oil Project. Undated, p. 4.

Located at Airly and has been designated by the NPWS, and so chosen as it roughly approximates the horse drawn tramway which linked the North Hartley Mine output to an aerial ropeway in a south westerly direction over the cliff edge to the retorts at Torbane, c1885. The trail sign was erected in 2014. The trail starts at the intersection of the Airly Mountain Trail. No end point is designated. This road ends at GR 218 350, unbelievably at the cliff edge.

Is located at Airly it trends in a north east direction from GenowlanTrig to above a tributary of Genowlan Creek. So named by Brian Fox on a Bush Club walk, 27th July 2015 after the nature's mastery of a treasure trove of pagodas and views. Also in keeping with the name Treasure Point to the east.

Nature has eroded out a tunnel and circular platform that in turn features at its centre a huge boss that supports a massive semi-isolated pagoda. Tunnel dimensions are 8 m long, 4.5 m wide and 3 m high. Named by Brian Fox on a bushwalk, 20 June 2016. The reason for naming is also that it is the location of an exceptional example of the surveyor’s craft, where three strokes symbolising the Broad Arrow with the number 55 below have been executed in bas-relief in sandstone. Research by Brian Fox confirms that the engraving is related to the eastern boundary of Portion 55, Parish of Cox, County of Cook. The original Survey Plan C1376-1507 is dated 15 November 1886. The perfection of this assemblage of the surveyor’s mark and numbers after 145 years is breathtaking. To make the discovery even more significant, the site also includes an original hand-built low rock wall or ‘lock spit’, which was part of the tradition of surveying at the time. Few examples of such craftsmanship still remain.

This natural edifice commands views over Tunnel Creek to the west, which are framed by multi-tiered amphitheatre-like walls that in turn frame a view of Donkey Mountain set in harmony in the Wolgan Valley. Directly below and beyond sight are the residual remains of the Wolgan Valley Railway and the entrance of the Glowworm Tunnel. Named on a bushwalk, 3 February 2017 by Michael Keats, Yuri Bolotin and Brian Fox.

is a cliff-lined gorge and north-south tributary of Tunnel Creek, located above and on the northern side of the Glowworm Tunnel, Newnes. Named by Peter Medbury on a bushwalk he led in the area on 10 January 2009. Peter records, "Tunnel Terrace Gorge is a large blind canyon behind the Glowworm Tunnel. The gorge was eroded by a tributary of Tunnel Creek. The western walls of the gorge are sheer cliffs topped by fabulous platy pagodas. The eastern wall is a low cliff line decorated with another set of pagodas. Erosion under the western cliffs has created an amazing series of overhangs and terraces along almost the entire length of the gorge. The floor of the gorge is covered with beautiful forest. The northern end of the gorge is dominated by a single tree that towers above the forest and cliff walls. The gorge looks like there is no easy way in or out. On the eastern side, not far from the northern end of the gorge, there is a narrow hidden slot that leads up out of the gorge. "

See Undercliff Track

This track roughly follows underneath the top cliff line of Hassans Walls Reserve, from Hassans Glen to above the cliff line at Heffernans Pass. This track over time has been closed due to rock falls and neglect. The Lithgow Mercury, 5th May 1916, p. 6, records, “The Shire Engineer, Mr G. F. Allman….had surveyed the track under the cliffs at Hassan’s Walls for a length of 50 chains(one kilometre)…site of the new Undercliff track.” Graham Holbeach, records, “I have an association with Padleys Pass (the Undercliff Track) which was constructed between 1915 and 1920…..Jim Smith had come across a single photo labelled something like “The Undercliff Track at Hassans Walls.” I think this is the first he had heard of it. The two of us went to look for it. He figured it would probably be somewhere near the main lookout. From the look out, I spotted a benched track heading down a gully. Except where the track crossed coal mining induced landslides, it was easy to follow, as the area was very dry. We found four entry tracks including a magnificent buried set of cut stone steps, as well as caves, rock seats and a bush table and seat. Jim, the late Wilf Hilder and I overhauled the track system and completed the unfinished western section. I did the heavy work of creating the sections across the landslides using a sledgehammer and mattock. I took two sickies and camped beside the track to finish it by the 'deadline'…… He (Jim) …produced two maps plus a two page info sheet with time line for the reopening on 24/11/90 by the Lithgow mayor. We had over 100 attending”. Jim Smith also records that Bernie Wilkes was part of the team which helped restore the track.

Yuri recorded, “When during our previous trip, we had been standing above the slot and peering down into it, we were enthralled by the vision of long parallel walls, framing a rectangular space of almost perfect proportions; green, luxuriant tops of ferns and rainforest trees completed a beautiful, immaculate, somewhat utopian vision of a hidden paradise.”

Governor Macquarie named the Vale of Clwydd on 29 April 1815. After leaving the base of Mount York he described his party’s route along Cox’s Road:“we pursued our journey in the carriage over a fine plain verdant country of open forest land through a beautiful extensive vale of five miles which I have named the Vale Clwydd after the vale of the same name in Wales". William Mylecharane (1832-1917) licensed surveyor in 1892 recorded the Aboriginal name for, The Vale of Clwydd as, Tuiwon. Ref: Smith, Jim. Does the Cox River have an Aboriginal name?

Name in use in the 1940s. Ref: Correspondence with Joe Bird, 6th February 2010, whose father Jim cut logs in this area.

Is located 100m north east of the locked gate on the Pagoda Track and 700m north east of the Glowworm Tunnel, Newnes Plateau. This 85m long overhang has a dry elevated floor and its southern extremity features an almost spherical cavern. In the centre is a small string waterfall that drops down from a slotted keyhole in the domed roof. Quite by accident, it was discovered that this is a whispering wall, so a quietly spoken comment at one end can be clearly heard at the other. Named by Michael Keats and Brian Fox on a Bush Club walk, 2nd January 2017.
