    “The Jump Back Pass or the ‘one in four’ road off the end of McMahons Lookout (Bimlow Topographic Map) was a key access for the residents of the Burragorang Valley. The 1930’s picture is from the John Hollingdale collection. The car is a 1930 Model A Ford.”

    ….and here’s another one from the Camden Historical Society collection. I am wondering now what reasons this road was built and why people used it.
