On the eastern outskirts of Sydney you can take Grand Lake Road to the Town of Glace Bay. From Sydney, along the shoreline, you can take the #28 (Colliery Route) through Whitney Pier and on to the communities of South Bar, Victoria Mines, and New Victoria. This route takes you to the town of New Waterford. Today the mines and steel plants have closed, victims of bad economics and an unwillingness of various levels of government to support money-losing ventures.
