Capertee is a small town 20km north of Lithgow, New South Wales, Australia. Situated on the Castlereagh Highway between Lithgow to Mudgee, Capertee is surrounded by National Parks, grazing land and coal mining. The Capertee Valley forms a part of the catchment area of the Hawkesbury River.
[edit] Railway
Capertee was a temporary terminus of a railway branch line from Wallerawang on the Main Western railway line. When the line was extended to Mudgee, there was no flat ground on which to build a crossing loop, so Capertee ended up with an unusual dead-end crossing siding instead.
