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.

Victor Falls. Thanks to an unknown artist.

1938 MAP (PART 32): HAZELBROOK - VICTOR FALLS - TERRACE FALLS - THE LAKE - LAKE AVENUE - HAZELBROOK

1938 MAP (PART 32): HAZELBROOK - VICTOR FALLS - TERRACE FALLS - THE LAKE - LAKE AVENUE - HAZELBROOK

The Terrace Falls area at Hazelbrook is one of the most interesting in the Blue Mountains. I can recommend Keith Painter's "Pocket Pal" booklet titled "Terrace Falls" for modern descriptions of walks in this area. See the website www.mountainmistbooks.com for more information.
There are many online photographs, walk descriptions and videos you can check out. Here are a few.

This walk takes you to series of interesting places with typical Blue Mountains scenery. It's more than 60 years since I walked these tracks. Part 30.
