Old Great North Road, Heritage road in Wisemans Ferry, Australia.
The Old Great North Road extends 43 kilometers through Dharug and Yengo National Parks, featuring stone culverts, buttresses, and sandstone walls.
Constructed between 1826 and 1836, this road served as a vital transport link between Sydney and Hunter Valley during the early colonial period.
The road contains rock carvings made by convicts in the 1830s along Devines Hill, documenting their experiences during the construction period.
Visitors can explore the road through a 9-kilometer loop track, which takes approximately four hours to complete with interpretive signs along the route.
The Thomas James Bridge, located along the route, stands as the oldest bridge on mainland Australia that continues to carry vehicle traffic.
