Details

Identifiernot specifiedPhotographerTyrrellDescriptionIn 1825 Heneage Finch surveyed land from Castle Hill to Wisemans Ferry along the ridge to enable a road to be constructed, connecting Sydney with the Hunter Valley. The road was a continuation of Old Northern Road which had been constructed in 1817 from the Government Farm in Castle Hill to the present township of Galston. The new road was named the Great North Road and replaced the old Putty Road that linked Windsor, Putty and Bulga to the Hunter River. Today the road is still used and is becoming a historical and tourist attraction.Physical FormatWiseman's Ferry
