IN DETAIL
IT IS THE INTENTION of the Blue Mountains Track
Foundation to create a multipurpose track across the Mountains. It
will create a “community commuter corridor” from one town to
another.
The Track will be for the use of walkers,
cyclists, disabled.
The purpose of the Track is to recognize and
