Mount York Campground
Mount York, 7.5 kilometres from Mount Victoria, is a natural site that, at 1061 metres, has commanding views over the western plains and many layers of Aboriginal and European heritage. Several convict-built roads (now walking tracks) and remnants of the old convict-built roads (1823-1829) can still be seen.
Monuments at the site demonstrate a change in architectural style and social means of commemorating historical events such as the first European crossing of the Blue Mountains, May 1813 by Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth, the survey of the first road by George Evans, November 1813 and building of the first road, Cox's Road, in 1814. Further along, Mount York Road is a historic convict-built Lawson's Long Alley and Lockyers Line of Road, Berghoffers Pass and Bardens Lookout.
Mount York is traditionally the land of the Gundungurra and Darug Aboriginal people and today is famous for bushwalking, abseiling, mountain biking and rock climbing.
