A view from the cliff top looking towards the sheer drop of Govett's Leap, rising out of the densely wooded valley of the Grose. The view illustrates typical Blue Mountain scenery.

350 x 274 mm. A view from the cliff top, looking towards the sheer drop of Govett's Leap, which rises out of the heavily wooded valley of the Grose. The view shows typical scenery found in the Blue Mountains.

156 x 204 mm. A woodland scene, with a fallen tree trunk in the foreground and ferns and woods beyond.

205 x 156 mm. A view showing a river running through a wooded valley with sheer cliffs rising on either side. Location unidentified, but possibly the Valley of the Grose.

274 x 350 mm. A view of the waterfall from below the lip of the cliff. The waterfall, in the heart of the Blue Mountains, drops 180 feet to the valley below.

Includes a number of scenes on board ship in 1914 and some miscellaneous unbacked slides which are largely duplicates, or similar to, those in other boxes.

A woodland scene on the Federal Pass, showing crude steps cut into the earth between the trees.

A view of seven walkers posing for the camera on the fenced path cut into the sheer and massive rockface. In the background is the wooded valley floor, with other rock faces rising up.

229 x 190 mm. A view of part of the Lithgow zig-zag, the engineering feat of John Whitton which allowed the railway to descend on a manageable gradient from the Blue Mountains. For a fine panorama of the Lithgow zig-zag, and more detail on its construction see Y3086E/51.

233 x 181 mm. A view of another section of the Lithgow zig-zag.

206 x 158 mm. A view from further along the cliff face looking towards this outcrop of rock, which towers over the Grose Valley just beyond Govett’s Leap.

A view looking down on to the rocks, three outcrop which stand over the wooded valley floor. With a man and a woman sitting in the foreground at the cliff edge.

A view showing the Three Sisters, the outcrops of rock which stand over the Jamieson Valley.

350 x 274 mm. A view looking down on to a fenced outcrop of rock, beyond which stretches the heavily wooded Jamieson valley. The Three Sisters Rocks can be seen in the distance.

193 x 237 mm. A view of the drop of the falls, with heavily wooded hills behind. Also known as the Wentworth Falls, water drops 614 feet into Jamieson Valley.

190 x 140 mm. A view of the Lithgow zigzag, a spectacular piece of railway engineering by John Whitton, on the descent from the Blue Mountains. The viaducts, opened in 1869 and cut through heavy rock, allowed the railway to descend on a gradient of 1 in 42 by three parallel sweeps across the face of the ravine. The zigzags were replaced by tunnels in 1910.
