1938 MAP (PART 35): HAZELBROOK - SWIMMING POOL - CATARACT FALLS - FEDERAL FALLS - JUNCTION FALLS - ADELINA FALLS - LAWSON

1938 MAP (PART 35): HAZELBROOK -  SWIMMING POOL - CATARACT FALLS - FEDERAL FALLS - JUNCTION FALLS - ADELINA FALLS -  LAWSON

This walk takes in a lot of lookouts and waterfalls as it makes its way from Hazelbrook to Lawson. A road follows the route today, so a current map is essential.
The Baths (near the beginning of the walk) were at one time a well developed site - basically a wreck today (if you can find them).

"In answer to the request of the Hazelbrook Urban Committee for a report regarding the possible enlargement of the Hazelbrook Pool, the Shire Engineer reported in a very comprehensive manner."

1938 MAP (PART 33): HAZELBROOK - VICTOR FALLS - LAKE AVENUE - HAZELBROOK

1938 MAP (PART 33): HAZELBROOK - VICTOR FALLS - LAKE AVENUE - HAZELBROOK

This walk follows some parts of Route 32, but does not go down the gully to Terrace Falls. Instead it only goes to Victor Falls before returning to Hazelbrook.
