Grade:3/6		Length	12km	300m	Southern Sydney Branch
Esther C.
The 1813 crossing of the Blue Mountains was the expedition led by Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Charles Wentworth, which became the first successful crossing of the Blue Mountains in New South Wales by European settlers.  Mal January did not exactly follow the original route but mapped out his hiking route and led a group to cross the Blue Mountains twice.  Thanks to his generosity for permitting me to use his route, we can repeat this epic journey to cross the Blue Mountains. We take the 8:24 Blue Mountains train every Sunday, with some exceptions. Steep and slippery sections. Location: Blue Mountains NP Map: Blue Mountains Limit: 10. View
