A ROAD SCENE NEAR GRAND ARCH, JENOEAN CAVES, NEW SOUTH WALES 



For vastly years the beautiful Blue Mountains of New South Wales were a barrier to 

 the interior for the early colonists. With many mouths to be fed, an extension of territory 

 became imperative, and an expedition under the leadership of a Kentish farmer, George 

 Blaxland, for whom Mt. Blaxland was named, found a way through the mountains to the 

 fertile country beyond. Now motor-cars glide through these mountains over smooth roads 

 and tourists stop off en route to see the wonderful Jenolan Caves with their remarkable 

 stalactitic formations.
