Coxs River track

The Coxs River track extends through granite landscapes along the Six Foot Track, connecting Katoomba to the Jenolan Caves system.

Lieutenant William Cox supervised 30 convicts to build the original road in 1814, completing 101.5 miles across the Blue Mountains in six months.

The track holds significance for the Gundungurra people, who maintained traditional connections to the land before European settlement altered the region.

The trail begins at Megalong Valley Road with parking facilities, covering 14 kilometers and including passages over Bowtells Swing Bridge.

Parts of the original track now lie submerged beneath Lake Burragorang, following the construction of Warragamba Dam in the Burragorang Valley.
