Bylong Valley

Bylong Valley

The Bylong Valley is a winding but relatively flat valley that crosses the Great Dividing Range between the Goulburn River National Park and Wollemi National Park, west of the upper Hunter Valley.

The valley is split by a short ridge roughly one third of the way from its western end. The path across this ridge is steep and winding, and is known as Cox's Gap.

The Bylong Valley carries the Sandy Hollow railway line, which passes under Cox's Gap with a tunnel, and the Bylong Valley Way, which climbs over the ridge through the gap.

The boundary between Muswellbrook shire and the Mid-Western Regional Council area is right on the crest of Cox's Gap.
