Mount Boyce AWS

Mount Boyce Automated Weather Station (AWS), near Blackheath, NSW. It is about 1,080 metres (3,540 feet) above sea level, with about 12 metres of thick scrub between it and the busy Great Western Highway. It is about 600 metres from the edge of cliffs and steep slopes that drop about 200 metres into the Megalong Valley to the South and West. It is quite exposed to the West and South West and somewhat sheltered to the East. It is about 110 km West of Sydney (90 km as the crow flies), but has a very different climate because of its elevation and distance from the Sea.
