Megalong Valley, New South Wales

Megalong ValleyMegalong 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'.
