Statement of significance:


	The [overall] complex of Blue Mountains regional walking tracks is of National significance. It is distributed among dozens of individually designed cultural landscapes. These landscapes were planned for recreational purposes, at first by wealthy gentlemen on their private estates and later by community based trusts who administered grants from the State Government. There exists a full range of original construction types and track fabric and associated features such as shelter sheds, wells, railings and signage from the 1870s private tracks to the efforts of the Blue Mountains National Park Trust in the 1960s. The blending of man-made and natural features in track construction was done in ways that reflect the aesthetics, technology and environmental values of the time. Many of the constructed features transcend their purely utilitarian functions and have considerable aesthetic appeal. The solutions of the early trustees and track makers to complex problems of design, particularly drainage issues and the use of stone have significant research value today. Due to the proximity of the reserves to Sydney and the early provision of mass transport links between Sydney and the Blue Mountains, the region's walking tracks have been the most significant facilitators of contact between urban Australians and the natural environment. The Blue Mountains tourist industry grew largely to service people who desired an engagement with nature on the walking tracks. The tracks have been an important factor in the growth of conservation values in the community. Walkers have left a resource of written records, photographs and memories recording their impressions and emotional and spiritual experiences on the tracks that has historic significance as a record of Australians' changing relationships with nature. These relationships continue to evolve after over 100 years of continuous use of many tracks. People walking the tracks today can enjoy feelings of continuity and empathy with the walkers of the past as they use the same historic structures (Smith: Blue Mountains Track Heritage Study, pp143)

History

Historical notes:

Aboriginal Occupation
Prior to European settlement the Blue Mountains was the home of many autonomous Aboriginal groups who lived and moved around the region. There are six distinct tribal groups who have traditional rights and custodial responsibilities for the indigenous heritage of the region that are: the Darug, the Gandangurra, the Wanaruah, the Wiradjuri, the Darkinjung and the Tharawal.

Evidence of Aboriginal occupation and custodianship of the country within Blue Mountains National Park dates back to possibly 22,000 years B.P ((Stockton and Holland 1974; Williams et. al. 2012). The Blue Mountains contain a large number of significant sites which capture the relationship that Aboriginal people have had with country for thousands of generations.

The rich and varied evidence of traditional occupation of the reserves include archaeological deposits in open sites and rock shelters, stone implements, factory sites for tool production, axe grinding grooves and extensive art-work, including drawn, painted and stencilled images. Tracks and figurative motifs dominate the art sites (NPWS 1998). Motifs include anthropomorphic figures, animals, hand stencils and tracks of birds and kangaroos (NPWS 1998).

Colonial exploration and settlement:
Until 1813 the Blue Mountains proved a restriction to the expansion of settlement in Australia. In that year Gregory Blaxland, William Charles Wentworth and William Lawson made the first successful crossing and opened the vast interior of the country to settlement.

The construction of a road soon followed and in 1863 a railway was built as far as Penrith and extended as far as Mount Victoria by 1868. By the 1870s it had become fashionable for elite families to acquire mountain retreats with magnificent views where in summer the air was considerably cooler than Sydney. Villages such as Leura developed to serve these retreats which over time developed large European gardens.

The Blue Mountains National Park:
Blue Mountains National Park regained the top spot as the most popular NSW national park for domestic visitors in a 2014 survey. It received 4.2 million visitors in 2014, relegating Royal National Park to second place (Trembath, 2015).

One of Australia's oldest bushwalking tracks, the Grand Canyon Track was officially re-opened after an almost decade-long restoration worth $4.8m. Three thousand sandstone steps were hand-laid as part of a 4.5km restoration projecxt - involving more than 2000 helicopter drops. more than 90,000 people use the track every year (Blue Mountains Gazette, 1/11/17, 1).

Assessment of significance


SHR Criteria a) [Historical significance]	Blue Mountains recreational reserves, with their complexes of walking tracks and associated features, have National significance as examples of cultural landscapes developed for recreation. Their development reflects changing attitudes towards the Australian environment and their importance in the local tourist industry through time. Reserve development provides an important example of how State Government and local community organisations were able to work together for over a century. Local reserve and track development and use is an important chapter in the history of conservation in Australia. A wide range of historically important people were associated with walking track development. These range from people like Sir Henry Parkes and Sir Frederick Darley to the local government administrators and businessmen who served as trustees. Immigrants to Australia played a major role as both track builders and trustees. Many walking tracks have been in continuous use for over a century and a large amount of documentation records people's experiences on them. Over a majority of the length of the track system significant amounts of the original track fabric remain to be seen. (Smith: Blue Mountains Track Heritage Study, pp143)
SHR Criteria c) [Aesthetic significance]	Blue Mountains walking tracks in their original state have a positive visual and sensory appeal due to their careful design as part of the cultural landscapes of recreational reserves. Due to the high standards of craftsmanship and the mainly natural materials used, the tracks, with their features such as bridges, ladders, railings and stepping stones, provide an important example of how man-made and natural features can be juxtaposed in a pleasing way. The weathering of the construction materials and the knowledge of the many other visitors who have passed along the tracks can evoke a strong emotional awareness of the passing of time. The Blue Mountains track makers worked to the aesthetic standards of their times and their best work can have sculptural qualities and display an elegant "minimalist" style of simplicity that transcends the merely functional. The variety of materials used in track construction provide, in themselves, stimuli of colour, texture, sound and smells which can enhance the experience of using them.
SHR Criteria d) [Social significance]	Blue Mountains walking tracks have social value to a wide range of groups in the community. These community groups vary from local residents who walk them every day to families in other parts of Australia who remember a holiday or honeymoon during which they used the tracks. The social significance is enhanced by the large amount of documentary evidence, varying from personal albums to published accounts by people who have used the tracks and recorded their impressions over the past century or more. Due to their proximity to Australia's major centre of population, Blue Mountains walking tracks have been one of the most significant interfaces between urban people and nature in Australia. Large numbers of people throughout Australia have emotional and spiritual bonds to the walking tracks because on them they had encounters with natural environments and other species that were significant to them.
SHR Criteria e) [Research potential]	Blue Mountains walking tracks contain significant research potential, particularly in the areas of drainage technology and stone work. They have never formally been studied as elements of the design of the cultural landscapes of the reserves they are sited in. Although most of the trackmakers' names are unknown, there is a significant body of work by the outstanding track and road designer Peter Mulheran of Wentworth Falls and others such as Murdo McLennon of Medlow Bath that could be studied as examples of late nineteenth century and early twentieth century technology and landscape architecture.
