- SMALL TOWNS OF AUSTRALIA: a series where I act 'stuck up' in places which aren't Sydney. Glen Davis is a mostly abandoned town in the scenic Capertee Valley, 80kms north of Lithgow. Watch me (poorly) summarise its history and ramble about how weird and unsettling the town really is.

The tour of the ruins of the shale oil refinery is definitely worthwhile. There is much history with Glen Davis and nearby Newnes in the Wolgan Valley. The film The Chain Reaction starring Steve Bisley was made on location in the town. It is a little known Australian movie available on DVD.
My uncle owned the hotel from about 1961 till the late 90s . My cousins and I used to go up there a lot and ride horses and go hiking . Lots a great memories. The place does have a feel about it though
My parents lived in Glen Davis for quite a number of years just after WW2.
Dad used to ride his old motorbike to Singleton where he was stationed in the Army and go home on weekends.
My Mum would tell me stories of the weird noises she'd hear during the night and my brother and sister were never allowed to play in the streets by themselves.
Our family lived there in the 50s after the war , We went to school there .
I camped there in a park , visited the factory (its "officially" closed, but if you pay the house near the gate "$20" then they "officially" open a tour... as the sign suggests.
However if you are Safety mindfull you will be fine.
No creepy vibe or feelings felt. If anything the peace and quiet set in the valley was relaxing and refreshing. Not everyone needs to have a thirst for the concrete jungle (City).
I recomend anyone who is interested to give this place a visit. Just expect to be very isolated, which is nothing to be spooked out about.
Blue trees in Australia stand for “R U OK?”
The chain reaction was filmed there the chain reaction was made shortly after mad max and had some of its cast
Great movie.Mel Gibson,Kim Gyngel and Roger Ward had cameos in the start.
I've got the movie on DVD and the music on vinyl (original pressing).
Spooky as, that pharmacy was freaky af with those weird old world medical implements
My family lived there in the 50s , we went to school there .
I lived there early 80s there were about 30 people living there
It's basically an abandoned or ghost town set in a really beautiful huge valley, "creepy" I don't think so, found it a peaceful place.
The ‘pelvic inflator thing’ is for dilating the trachea to put respiration tubes down to ventilate a patient.
I now live in Sydney, but recently returned to by childhood town for a day visit. Felt like the arse end of the world.
There was nobody around, nothing happening, and just had a huge nothingness about it. The house I grew up in now looks like a tip with piles of old cars everywhere, rusty sheets of corrugated iron and rubbish strown everywhere. Houses that were new when I left were now sun faded and in disrepair.
Country towns always seem nice when thinking about them from Sydney. But when you're there.........you see the reality.
There's a reason country towns are small:- nobody wants to live in them!
Until there's are national program to make these places appealing and bigger, nothing will change.
Ooft this hurt a little too watch. I mean I completely agree, objectively the Valley is a bit spooky. But I'm a bird watcher, and the Valley and around Glen Davis has an abundance of birdlife and its one of the best places in Australia for birding so I'm more of the opinion that it's an absolute wonderland.
It's not even that far from Sydney. Try some dustbowl in western NSW..........that would be spooky!
Nice!
It does look like everyone went to the rapture.
Are there still shale oils underneath? Then Geln Davis will be prosperous soon again haha
Is it safe to camp there alone??
Oh of course it is & I live there & enjoy the serenity & quiet.
We have a Community Hall with a venue every month including, dinners, art exhibitions, pottery classes, painting classes etc.
ooo scary
went there 1965 most of the house were still standing but had bricks walls no roofs no windows now 000 in 12 4 22.
Look
I had the same feeling when I was there. I felt like an invading virus in a body with a robust immune system.
I lived and worked in that area in the 60s saw a big black panther like cat there one night while spot lighting would have been about 90kgs
Cynical is an understatement.
Sounds like you don’t know how to enjoy a bit of peace & quiet
Don’t nock watt you don’t understand
I was thinking about going camping here soon......maybe not.....
Oh of course it is great to be here & I live there & enjoy the serenity & quiet.
