About Mount Victoria, NSW
Mount Victoria, Blue Mountains (1,111m)
This name was given by Surveyor-General Thomas Mitchell to the mountain down which his Pass of Victoria was constructed in 1832. His surveyors also marked the highest point in the area which appeared on Mitchell’s map as One Tree Hill. In 1849 a toll bar was erected about a mile and a half to the east of Victoria Pass at a spot called Broughton’s Waterhole, a popular camping site for travellers and stock from the earliest days of the road. The toll bar cottage still exists. Though the railway platform erected in 1869 bore the name of Mount Victoria, the use of both One Tree Hill and Mount Victoria for the location caused confusion until the 1880s when official reference for the latter triumphed.
Mount York
Site of first crossing of Blue Mtns in 1813 and first road in 1815 built by Cox and his convict gang. Tar road to memorial rotunda and obelisk marking centenary of crossing. Sheer cliffs for abseiling and starting point for several bushwalks.
