Access for All To National Parks and Wildlife Areas
Do you realise that much of our local area may be proclaimed wilderness in the next few months?
How will Wilderness affect you?
If Wilderness is declared
- Existing trails will be closed, gated and locked.
- Access to our pioneering past along historic bridal trails,traditional trade routes, and Aboriginal migratory routes will be lost
- Descendents of pioneering families will be denied access to their historic past, settlements and grave sites will be out of bounds forever to everyone.*
**(Unless you are a self reliant Bush Walker)**

Maintaining Our Heritage Transport Trails to the Coast |
|
Today, most visitors to Braidwood take the Kings Highway route to the coast for granted but it was not always so.
In fact, the Clyde Road was only completed in 1856 and then daily carried many wagon teams from the port at Nelligen to the developing Braidwood. Prior to carting supplies by dray, an earlier pack horse track – The Corn Trail – made its way from the coast near Runnyford, up the Bolero and Buckenbowra valleys to the escarpment. From here it is a 650 metre climb to Murrengburg Mountain and the plains to the north east of the tiny hamlet of Monga giving access to Braidwood.
The Corn Trail Bridle track, built by hand in about 1830 became disused for a long period because of the new Clyde Road.
