 Overview

As the sun dips behind the Blue Mountains, join us for a memorable evening of local food, forest stillness, and natural wonder. The Glowworm Dinner Experience at Wollemi Ridge Retreats blends the comfort of a bush-style barbecue feast with the quiet magic of seeing glowworms shimmer in the darkness of a secluded mountain gully.

 Evening Itinerary

• Arrival & Welcome 
  Begin your evening at Wollemi Ridge Retreats with a refreshing welcome drink — a crisp, locally crafted cider from Bilpin’s beloved cider makers. Take a moment to relax, breathe in the fresh mountain air, and watch the light soften over the ridges.

• Bush-Style Barbecue Dinner
  Enjoy a wholesome dinner prepared on the barbie with hearty flavours, seasonal sides, and good company as twilight settles in. It’s a relaxed and authentic taste of Bilpin’s country hospitality.

• Guided Glowworm Walk
  As darkness deepens, your guide will lead you on a bushwalk to the gully where glowworms make their home. In the stillness of the night, you’ll notice the subtle glimmer of their bioluminescent light along the damp rock walls — a quiet, almost ethereal sight that captures the simple magic of nature after dark.

• Return & Reflection
  After spending time in the glowworm gully, stroll back under the stars to the retreat whilst keeping your eyes and ears open to spot nocturnal wildlife.
