Six different ways in and out - all of them strenuous - lead to this fabled forest deep in the Grose Valley. The area was set aside for conservation some 20 years before the Blue Mountains National Park was created. The walk however is well worth the effort for the more experienced walker and you should take some time to rest and gaze up at the massive trees, set among a grass and fern understorey. As it is a five hours walk each way you may chose to camp overnight at nearby Acacia Flat (about 500 metres to the right). Camping is not permitted in Blue Gum Forest.

New South Wales HISTHERITG

The National Pass is one of Australia's finest bushwalking trails, just 100 kilometres from Sydney and easily accessible by car or train. The walking trail follows six kilometres of majestic wild scenery and waterfalls in the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. The trail was built with picks, shovels, crowbars and dynamite between 1906 and 1907. It involved cutting a zigzag staircase into a cliff face and became a very popular walking trail. After 95 years service, the National Pass was tired and fraying badly in places and it was closed in 2002 to start a restoration project. After several years of painstaking reconstruction, the trail re-opened and won major heritage conservation awards. There is a wide choice of excellent accommodation within a short distance of either end of the trail.

The need for a police centre in the Hartley Valley led to the construction of the Hartley Court House in 1837. Over the next 50 years a bustling village grew around the court house. The area was the judicial and administrative centre, with churches and accommodation, a post office and staging facilities. It served both travellers and settlers west of the Blue Mountains. In 1887 the village was surpassed by the Great Western Railway, resulting in stagnation and decline. In 1972 the site was declared as an historic site under the Management of the National Parks and Wildlife Service. Today, the village comprises 17 buildings of historical significance. The village remains a fine example of a 19th century settlement.
