At the northern side of the Blue Mountains is the town, and Railway Station of Clarence, that was built to service the Zig Zag railway of the late 1800's. From the 'Bush Explorers Encyclopaedia':

"Opened in 1874 and closed in 1910. Reopened as part of the Zig Zag tourist attraction. On 18th October 1975, the tourist railway carried its first passengers between Top and Bottom Points. The extension of the tourist railway to Clarence was opened on 29th October 1988. The Zig Zag and Clarence Railway Station closed in 2012 after failure to comply with WHS requirements. A reopening date has been put back due to the 2013 bush fires that destroyed some of the track and rolling stock."
