Blue Mountains Travel Guides

Mount Victoria, Blue Mountains

This Pocket Pal features the southern area of Mount Victoria with over 12 kilometres of historic walking tracks which hold many fascinating 'secrets'. I have spent more than 30 days walking in this area and, with the help of friends, have discovered lost tracks and solved a few mysteries. 

Solitary Rock is revealed. The lost steps into Fern Cave have reappeared. Century-old track beyond Dunns Leap has been restored and connected to the end of Hourn Point. The engineer of Engineers Cascade and the Little Zig Zag has been researched and named. 

You might need four or five days to complete all these walks! Caves are a feature: Fern, Marguerite, Coxs, Bushrangers, Watchtower are all mentioned. Come and wonder about the White Lady and the Odd Couple.

Great Walks at Mount Victoria is the eighth Pocket Pal published and contains 56 pages with 10 colour and 3 black and white photos and 15 maps covering 12.7km of tracks.
