For viewers who may not know what this series of blogs is all about. I have a rather poor copy of a 1938 map with walks information, produced by the NSW government railways department. I have copied the map and information in the order of the walk numbers. This is walk 10, the Old Bathurst Road from Emu Plains to Blaxland.
The Old Bathurst Road, which ascends from Emu Plains to Blaxland in the lower Blue Mountains, has been in use (off and on) since the 1820's. I can remember my father using this road 60 - 70 years ago. It is in regular use today.
Lots of things have changed since 1938 - consult a modern street directory and walking guide.
A good read is from the Nepean Times of 26th April 1962 (here).
