Nattai and the Burragorang Valley

Exploration of the Burragorang Valley commenced in 1802 and the first bridle track followed the explorer's trail.

A zig zag road up the mountain started as a track for horses and bullocks but was later made a wagon road, even though it was very steep.

The valley became a popular tourist destination and featured many guesthouses. Completion of Warragamba Dam flooded the valley and residents were moved into the neighbouring towns.

From Nattai township, the road leads to the Burragorang Lookout.

The history of the valley is displayed at the Wollondilly Heritage Centre in The Oaks.
