Bruce's Walk, the Eastern Section - November 2025

Bruce's walk started 1931 as a maintenance track for the power line that fed power from Blackheath to Lawson. This line fed power generated from near Lithgow. The trail was surveyed by an A.Bruce, hence "Bruce's Walk". It was initially promoted as a walking trail, but from World War II on it fell into disrepair and was largely  was forgotten. This time I did the eastern half, here is a link to my account of the western section I did in March 2019.
