Grose Head South via The Blue Gum Swamp - December 2023

Today's run was to Grose Head South from the west. The last time was from the East. I did that in July 2022, here is the link to that blog entry:  Grose Head South From Yarramundi
I drove home via Mitchell Pass, crossing the heritage listed Lennox Bridge. This bridge is the oldest stone bridge in mainland Australia, and Mitchell Pass is the first road to be constructed on the Eastern slopes of the Blue Mountains.
Here is a link to a 3D view of the route I ran: Fatmap I am not sure that it will work correctly, in any case there is a Google Maps view at the bottom of this post.
