You can choose to drive through Great Western Highway (via Penrith) or via Bilpin.  The driving experience is great either way.  I prefer the Bilpin way as it brings me through the fruit farms, and many great small cafes a long the way as well, and it offers great view of Blue Mountain along the way.  For the Great Western Highway path, you will drive through popular tourist attractions in Blue Mountain, which can be quite busy sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are driving an EV, you can make use of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/WMgKokJtx7ggtPEHA\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/WMgKokJtx7ggtPEHA\" target=\"_blank\">NRMA supercharger (50kW) in Lithgow<\/a> (near Lithgow Workies Club) and plenty of nice cafes and restaurants within walking distance.  On the way to Mudgee, I drop by for breakfast while leaving my car charging.  On my way back, I stop in Lithgow for dinner.  Very convenient.  If you are on 70+% of your charge, you can actually drive straight from Sydney to Mudgee without any issues.  However, I chose to charge as I usually like to stop more frequently to enjoy the local experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Along the way, there are various places that you can stop as well.  One such place is <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/JSpm5qBhCQo62PM6A\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/goo.gl\/maps\/JSpm5qBhCQo62PM6A\" target=\"_blank\">Portland<\/a>, which has a great Silo Art on display.
