Reply To: Jamison, Burragorang Valleys and Yerranderie

[Rob Thompson]

Below is an old map from before the building of Warragamba. If you keep clicking on it, you can zoom in to get some very good details:

It looks like there was a track going south from Maxwell’s farm which could possibly have connected to the road to Yerranderie. There is also another track which is an extension of Tablelands Road past McMahons Lookout which went down to the Lower Burragorang township.

This photo is from the Wollondilly Heritage Centre. It looks to me like it is taken from our end of the Burragorang Valley. Maybe McMahon’s Lookout?

 

EDIT UPDATE: After looking at the map and the satellite imagery, I think the photo above was taken a few kilometres to the South East of McMahon’s Lookout between Pocket Creek and Gogongolly Gully overlooking the Cox Junction as marked on the map below.
