   • Burralow Creek, Bilpin - the one with the flattest path. I am going to start with the easiest to access location first, which also happens to be one of my favourites.
   • Horseshoe Falls, Hazelbrook - the one with the spectacular waterfall. Horseshoe Falls was the first place we saw glow worms in the lower Blue Mountains and it didn’t disappoint.
   • Birdwood Gully, Springwood - the one that’s closest to Sydney. Yep, the gorgeous Birdwood Gully is only a little over an hour’s drive from Sydney, making this one an easy win if you’re not planning on staying over.
   • Waterfall Reserve, Mount Wilson - the one that’s well off the beaten track. The Waterfall Reserve is one of those spots that isn’t even visited much during the day, we visited on a glow worm hunch, and it paid off.
