Relevance to Cox’s Road: The Cox’s Road ridge line can be seen on the climb to the summit. One can better appreciate how close George Caley and his party were to locating a pathway across the Blue Mountains, and the rugged nature of the country. It is an important walk in better understanding the Cox’s Road Dreaming story.
