Glen Davis ruins, 1982

The former oil shale mining town is in the Capertee Valley, the largest enclosed valley in the southern hemisphere.

About 2500 people lived in the town in its heyday. The site is available to restricted groups on weekends.

However, when I was there in the early 1980s it was easy to get permission from the local landowner.
