1938 MAP (Part 11) BLAXLAND SWIMMING POOL

This is a short walk (with a steep climb) down to Glenbrook Creek where there are some great swimming holes. Modern maps include the area as an extension of Florabella Pass. It's shown on the 1938 map as Route 11.

1938 MAP (Part 8) FLORABELLA PASS WARRIMOO AND BLAXLAND

1938 MAP (Part 8) FLORABELLA PASS WARRIMOO AND BLAXLAND

Florabella Pass lies between Warrimoo and Blaxland in the lower Blue Mountains. The map shows its location clearly; however urban development since 1938 has been considerable so a modern street directory and walks guide is essential.
The name "Florabella" basically means "beautiful flowers".


The Pilgrim Inn at Blaxland was destroyed in a bush fire about 60 years ago
