One of the oldest stone bridges in Australia built by convicts.
The 43-km UNESCO world heritage trail contains Australia's oldest stone bridge, built by convicts between 1826 and 1836, which include Clares Bridge and Circuit Flat Bridge. The entire track takes about 2-3 days to hike, much more strenuous than an ordinary NSW hiking trail. Birdwatching opportunities are more than frequent.
A 28km six hour loop with stunning sandstone walls, passing through the Old Great North Road, interpretive panels along the way.
A convict built road, with some on chains, beside the Hawkesbury River, passing through historic graffiti, and with some stunning preserved stonework.
The only way you can enter from anywhere but Wisemans Ferry is by car.
