The Great North Road, the Convict Trail, was built in the early 19th century. It stretches for approximately 240 kilometers from the Sydney area to the Hunter Valley region. The road was constructed by convicts between 1826 and 1836 and is considered one of the most important public works projects completed during the period of convict transportation in Australia. Finch's Line was the original proposed route up the steep cliffs after the Hawksbury River. Finch's Line construction was started but not completed as the route was considered too steep and tortuous, construction switched to the less steep Devine's Hill a little west Finch's Line. I cycled another Great North Road section further north of here in December 2020.
