Blue Mountains & Southern Highlands — Historical Wall Map (1910)
Sandstone escarpments, cool gullies and winding ridgelines—this 1910 classic gathers the Blue Mountains & Southern Highlands as travellers knew them at the dawn of the modern leisure era. Waterfalls, valleys and plateaus settle into clear relief; roads, rails and walking tracks tie townships to lookouts and gardens. Part guide, part keepsake, it brings a century-old portrait of New South Wales’ favourite high-country playground to your wall—fresh, elegant and quietly nostalgic.

A richer historical frame
In 1910, the Mountains and Highlands were flourishing as destinations of cool-air retreats, rail excursions and bushwalking clubs. Guesthouses, scenic drives and ambitious walking tracks stitched natural drama to civic pride. This edition fixes that moment—evidence arranged with care—so you can read how visitors and locals moved through the country long before motorways and modern resorts.
