Blue Mountains Info please

Thinking of travelling back up north through Wisemans ferry . Is there a old road/ track in that area with old bridges and history stuff like that. I remember seeing a doco years ago and there was a ferry near it.

That would be the convict road from wisemans ferry to bucketty that is walking track
only. Take the ferry to the north side of the river turn left and its about two kms
to the start of the walking track. Head north to St albans , Mogo Creek , Bucketty and on to Wollombi more history along that road.

I googled maps "The Bridal Track" found the start but still would be interested in the narrow section and camp spot. Why I ask this is when we went to Vic High country we booked into a caravan park for a couple of days set up camp only to find 40ks up the road beautiful river side camping.

Believe the section of road where caravans are not allowed is called Monaghans Bluff.

Having said that, according to this post on Overlander, the track could be blocked.

Cheers.

The bridal track last monday was closed at the bluff due to a rock slide and coming from hill end was impassable at the caausway due to flooding. I suggest you look up the number for the royal hotel at hill end and ring them before you go.

We have stayed at Katoomba Fall Caravan Park and love it ( I am also not a fan of CVparks). Plenty of room to spread out and ideal as a base camp to explore the area. It's a council park and if you don't want power you can often have one corner to yourself. Worth a look

It is still rain ing here in Bathurst, but hopefully will have stopped by the time you get here.

I can recoomend a few places, which we do as day trips:

Gardens of Stone National Park (nth of Lithgow)
Turon Rover National Park (near Capertee north of Lithgow)
Jenolan State Forest (camping areas along 4Wd track section of 6 foot track)
Kanangra Boyd National Park (Boyd River campground or Ding Dell or Mout Werong (maybe in Blue Mtns NP, but close by)
Abercrombie Roiver Nataional Park (south of Oberon) some interesting old stockmans huts, yards etc

The Bridal Track is well sign posted, head to Eglinton and follow the signs.Camping along the River is fine, but certainly would not recommend attempting to tow van pas the Bluff. A French exchange student we had one, driving the Track (without caravan), asked how many people die on the road every year. There is a good campsite accesses from the Hill End side of Track. The 4WD action ute comparision was conducted there last year.

If you want some more details, feel free to send me a message.
