Cox's Road and Early Deviations - Woodford, Old Bathurst Road Precinct
Cox's Road and Early Deviations - Woodford, Old Bathurst Road Precinct, Heritage road site in Woodford, Australia.
The Old Bathurst Road Precinct extends along a mountain ridge, featuring original stone cuttings and gutters from the colonial construction period.
William Cox supervised thirty convicts and eight guards to construct this 163-kilometer road from Emu Ford to Bathurst between 1814 and 1815.
The road construction involved collaboration with Aboriginal guides Colebee and Joe, crossing through traditional lands of Dharug, Gundungurra, and Wiradjuri people.
Visitors can observe archaeological features including rock-cut drains, sheet rock pavement, and remnants of early colonial road engineering techniques.
The road maintains its original width of 3.7 meters, demonstrating Governor Macquarie's specifications for allowing two carts to pass simultaneously.
