In Convict Footsteps
|  |
Built in the early 1800s, the Great North Road shortened overland travel between Sydney and the Hunter Valley (now a famous wine region). Its most ambitious section was Devines Hill, climbing steeply from the Hawkesbury River into rugged sandstone country. In Dharug National Park, touch hand-hewn building blocks supporting a road that was a vision and a folly, but now stands as a monument to its unwilling builders. Walk in the footsteps of shackled convicts.
