Great North Road, Heritage road in New South Wales, Australia.
The Great North Road stretches 260 kilometers through New South Wales, connecting Sydney to the Hunter Valley through varied geographical terrain and landscapes.
Between 1825 and 1836, convict laborers constructed this substantial roadway, incorporating advanced engineering techniques to overcome natural obstacles in the colonial territory.
The road contains preserved convict graffiti etched into sandstone blocks, providing direct evidence of the individuals who built this transportation route.
Visitors can explore a 9-kilometer section of the World Heritage walk, which takes approximately 4 hours to complete and requires moderate hiking experience.
The road features nine-meter-tall buttresses and precise stonework at Devines Hill, demonstrating the technical capabilities of 19th-century convict engineering.
