Megalong Valley

Megalong Valley
Megalong is an Aboriginal word thought to mean ‘Valley Under The Rock’. The first record of a European coming to the valley was of Thomas Jones, a natural history specimen collector, who followed the course of Cox’s River from Burragorang to Hartley in 1818. The first land was taken up in 1838, those settlers travelling from Burragorang and Camden.
The best bushwalking in the Megalong is the historic ‘Six Foot Track’. One of the few places where you can see what the gorges of the Blue Mountains look like from your own two feet, with many magical Rainforest walks, and strolls through orchards and old timber homesteads. However if you would prefer to sit back and enjoy the breath taking views, take a stroll on four legs, enjoy the fun and popularity of horse riding through this unique valley. If using no legs at all is your style, take off and take in the spectacular country side by helicopter, either way be guided through this beautiful part of the Blue Mountains.
