Where is ABERCROMBIE CAVES?

CLICK ON MAP TO SEE MORE DETAILED MAP
Click for more detailed MapThe Abercrombie Caves and Reserve are situated in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales, just off the main road between Bathurst and Goulburn, some 283 kilometres by road west of Sydney. The turn off to the caves is 72 km south of Bathurst and 122 km north of Goulburn The Caves are 3km off the main road.
From Bathurst the turn-off is 13km beyond the township of Trunkey Creek. The road from Bathurst is fully sealed all the way.
From the Goulburn side, the suggested route is via Crookwell, Binda and Tuena. About 11km of this road remains unsealed. The turn off is on the right, 16km beyond Tuena.
It only takes about one hour to drive from Bathurst and between one hour forty-five minutes and two hours from Goulburn, depending on road conditions.
From several points on the road near the Abercrombie River the scenery is quite special. The Abercrombie Ranges unfold themselves in all their rugged grandeur, range after range dipping behind the other as far as the eye can see.

ROAD CLOSURE for those driving from the south (GOULBURN, CROOKWELL )
to the Caves
The Roads and Martime Services (RMS) (ex RTA) advises that a section of Main Road 54 (the main road to Goulburn south of the Caves) will be CLOSED to traffic on weekdays between 7:00am and 6:00pm starting from February 13th and continuing through until April 20th.
The road will be open during weekends.
Marked detours will be via Yass, Cowra & Blayney.
A shorter detour from Goulburn is using the Obereon/Bathurst Road via Myrtleville, Taralga, Porters Retreat, Black Springs, & Burraga. A few kilometres north of Burraga a left turn marked "Trunkey" will take you onto Bald Ridge Road. This road joins with the Bathurst/Goulburn road just south of the Caves. This detour will take you on several kilometres of gravel road, but will save a lot of time compared with the Yass/Cowra route.
The road to the Caves from the north (BATHURST, ORANGE, COWRA & BLAYNEY)
will remain open.
