The Old Convict Road

Starting with a ferry crossing of the Hawkesbury River at Wiseman’s Ferry, join us for a day exploring the old convict-built road which heads to the Hunter Valley.

Firstly we will explore the Devine’s Hill section in Dharug National Park, by a walking tour of about one hour or so. This is the most spectacular section of the remaining convict works. We will then proceed up the MacDonald River valley to St Albans and then north into the Dharug and Yengo National Parks, with stops to explore various features of the convict-built roadworks. We will finish at Bucketty mid-afternoon.

This trip is suitable for all Land Rover vehicles. There is only one rough section along a short side trip to explore CircuitFlat Bridge – participants in vehicles lacking ground clearance may choose to go as passengers in another vehicle for this short side trip.

A reasonable level of fitness will be required for the Devine’s Hill walk, which is 50% uphill (followed by 50% downhill!).

Vehicle numbers are quite limited due to very limited parking at the various stops. No pets permitted.

Suitable for all Club Members and Vehicles.
