Talk:Kings Highway, Australia

Name

Why isn't this article called Kings Highway, New South Wales, or Kings Highway, NSW, or Kings Highway, Australia? It seems like an unnecessarily complex name. Adz 03:29, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Pictures removed

I removed two pictures, the first was of a hotel that is not on the highway, does belong in an article about Bungendore though. The second was of an historical bus but there was no assertion of its relevance to this highway article.--A Y Arktos 08:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Corn trail

• From: http://www.forest.nsw.gov.au/currentaffairs/releases/310599.asp
  • The Corn Trail was colloquially named because it was used to cart the corn grown in the Bolaro Valley to the developing communities of Braidwood and Araluen. The trail was part of the original trade route linking the Bolaro Valley and the Southern Tablelands. It winds 15 kilometres through Buckenbowra State Forest, decending 750 metres from the top of Clyde Mountain, along the Buckenbowra River to the head of the Bolaro Valley. In 1987 a local group of historians researched and reconstructed the Corn Trail with a grant from the Bicentennial Authority. NSW State Forests maintains it as a walking and horseriding trail.

  • "The corn trail is historically important as one of an important group of routes between the south coast and tablelands, which facilitated trade, and for its association with the settlement of the Bolaro valley, in the mid nineteenth century. The survival of such trails is a relatively rare occurrence."
• http://www.southcoast.com.au/batemansbay/corntrail/index.html
  • "This trail is a 12.5km walking and horseriding track through the Buckenboura State Forest, winding from the top of the Clyde Mountain down to the head of the Bolero Valley. It was first pioneered by the settlers of the valley to trade produce with their neighbours on the Southern Tablelands. The major crop from the fertile valley was corn which was transported by pack-horse to the towns of Araluen and Braidwood. The trail was also used to bring cattle down from the tablelands for agistment on the coast and also by gold prospectors.The trail was the first link between the coast and tablelands but by the 1920s was overgrown after another route over the Clyde Mountain had been opened in 1854."
  • "As a trail not suitable for wheeled transport, it was seldom used after 1856, when the dray trail from the Braidwood plains to the Clyde River at Nelligen was made passable. Resurrection of the old pack trail is a commendable achievement. Like many things, the earliest use of the Corn Trail is not to be found in existing records. However, there is excellent reason to believe it was the first trade link between NSW coast south of the Shoalhaven, and the Monaro Plains."
