Megalong Valley
Start typing to see suggestions or browse Australia
Megalong is an Aboriginal word thought to mean 'valley under the rock'. One of the famous Blue Mountains valleys surrounded by sandstone cliffs. Famous for the historic Six Foot Track.
One of the best views into the Megalong Valley is from the Hydro Majestic Hotel at Medlow Bath. The hotel sits on the edge of the escarpment overlooking the valley. Here you can see thick eucalypt forests, spectacular sandstone cliffs receding into the distance and the route of Cox's River as it passes through the valley. The valley is a popular destination for those looking for an Australian bush experience close to Sydney.
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 bushwalk in the Megalong is the "Six Foot Track".Photos
