Cox's Road and Early Deviations - Mount York, Cox's Pass Precinct
Cox's Road and Early Deviations - Mount York, Cox's Pass Precinct, Colonial heritage road in Mount York, Australia
The Mount York section of Cox's Road features original stonework, cuttings, and retaining walls carved through the rugged terrain of New South Wales.
William Cox and his convict workforce completed this 163-kilometer road from Emu Ford to Bathurst in just six months during 1814 and 1815.
The road construction marked a turning point in Australian colonial expansion, enabling European settlement beyond the Blue Mountains into western New South Wales.
Visitors can access the heritage site via Mount York Road, with parking facilities available near the walking tracks that follow the original route.
The road contains visible archaeological elements including sheet rock pavement, stone walls, and gutters that demonstrate early colonial engineering methods.
