Crossing the Blue Mountains

Hello and welcome back to an exciting Term Two.
This term we will be celebrating and learning about the Bicentenary of the Crossing of the Blue Mountains. This is an exciting time for the people of the Blue Mountains as they reflect on how the explorers created a road through the mountains and opened up the west for us to use.

Keep you eyes open for articles in the Gazette and other newspapers about the occuring events and information, and for other learning opportunities being provided in the Blue Mountains.

Here are some websites for you to read and look at about the crossing of the Blue Mountains:
