is a small rocky pinnacle containing an old post-mounted letterbox. Located 3 km south east of Birds Rock Trig and above Carne Creek. Named by Daryl Watson on a bushwalk, 2 June 2014.

We entered a very pretty circular room on the left-hand side of the main gorge. It is about 40m in diameter and is surrounded by high walls; on the ground, amongst a sea of ferns, stands a giant solitary Eucalyptus tree. At 1218, GR 3320 2025, 982m. This area is very similar to Liberty Chamber a little further downstream, which we had found, explored and named during our previous walk here on 08 December 2017. I (Yuri Bolotin) therefore propose to name both these rooms Liberty Chambers.

Has its headwaters within the area known as Alcatraz, 450m west of Woolpack Rock. This gully flows for 500m before it reaches the main cliff line, then a further 1.4km till it joins Barton Creek. Named by Yuri Bolotin, Michael Keats and Brian Fox on a Bush Club walk on 27th February 2017. Michael’s track notes record the top section of this gully,In the green heaven below are many species of fern, tree fern and huge Eucalypts. Rain forest tree species are numerous… Over twenty minutes was spent exploring. It was nowhere near enough. Brian and I climbed high and Brian found a way up through a slot to the north. We then returned to the floor of the gully with its exceptional carpet of green and honey coloured walls. This gully that we later proved is readily negotiable all the way through the top cliff line, Yuri, Brian and I have called it Liberty Gully. It is the antithesis of Alcatraz.

Is 2km in length and separates the Wolgan Road near Blackfellows Hand Rock from Lambs Creek. This old local timber cutter name was in use when the bullockies pulled timber from the area. It was in use up to the 1950s. The name derives from a log bridge over Lambs Creek. Ref: Oral history, local resident, Ossie O'Brien, 20th April 2012. The highest point is 1087m.

Hand chiseled square holes can be found at one metre intervals on a constant slope down each side of the canyon. In places, carefully selected and measured logs still span the canyon. There are several examples of cross beams wired to each other as they collectively formed the support trusses for the deck of the slide. The detailed engineering is amazing. Named by Brian Fox, Michael Keats, and Yuri Bolotin on a bushwalk, 13 March 2015.

On the eastern point above the slot, there is an old mining survey cairn called a lock spit, constructed in 1906, in the shape of the letter ‘T’ and orientated east west and north.

In the late 1980's probably around 1989 Victor (Vic) Widman, of Great Divide Tours, info@4wd.net.au visited this area and followed the dead end track which led to the unusual rock pagodas. At the time he was a freelance, writing for 4 x 4 Australia Magazine and an Express Publication known as 4WD Weekend Escapes. He coined the name, The Lost City, in these articles, Vic recalls making up the name for the articles based on the lost cities of the Incas in South America , and to his knowledge no one else at that time evercalled it the Lost City. The final descent to the Lost City was closed off by State Forests towards the end of 2002.

AJ Jack placed a plaque at this location in 2002,"In loving Memory of Lurlene Jack 22/4/28 - 5/9/67" His mother had died aged 39, when AJ (christened Anthony Neil Jack) was only two years old. Lookout named by Karen McLaughlin and shown in her pamphlet, Short walks on the Newnes Plateau compiled for the Blue Mountains Conservation Society, June 2009. In research by Brian Fox and correspondence to AJ Jack, it was found that his mother's name was correctly spelt as Lurline.

When AJ Jack placed the plaque on this rock he also wrote the following poem.

Goodbye

I woke one day and you were gone

I cried but you could offer no comfort

Your ashes were cast to the winds

No plaque No stone

Just fleeting infant memories to show your time on earth.

But now a lone rock on a bare hill will carry your name

A simple reminder that you were here

And among the towering sentinels of sandstone

I can focus my thoughts on remembrance

And I can finally say goodbye.

Is a narrow gully on the upper tributaries of Genowlan Creek. The start of the defile is from the 4WD track 1.1km north of Genowlan Trig Station; it extends 500m northwards from 860m to 1000m and gives easy access to Paddys Mountain from Genowlan Creek.

Described by Michael Keats as follows: “ a small slot passage suddenly opened out into a glorious richly decorated natural room.”So named by  Brian Fox, Michael Keats and Yuri Bolotin on a bushwalk, 12th September 2016. A recently vacated Lyrebird nest gave rise to this name.

Thomas Maddox opened up a stock route from Cullen Bullen to Bells Line of Road in 1870. His stock route was shorter and avoided the toll at Blackmans Flat. This line of road traversed up the spur line on the eastern side of Cullen Bullen (known as Maddoxs Pinch) along Ben Bullen Range and north east of the Great Dividing Range to Gardiners Gap. From Gardiners Gap the line followed Long Swamp Road south along the Wolgan Road and joined Angus Place Trail where the present Angus Place Mine is located. This route then joined the Beecroft Firetrail to the junction of the Blackfellows Hand Trail. From thence it followed a small section of the present Old Bells of Line Road, changed direction due south on the eastern side of the present motorcycle club at Happy Springs and looped around to the east before once again joining the Old Bells Line of Road. (Note: A section between Bungleboori and Happy Springs, from which the present road deviates, was the source of the water supply for the stock at Paddys Swamp and the sawmill site). Maddoxs Line then traversed south east through the present sand mining area, went north of the Main Western Railway loop and along the present road on the northern side of the railway line and joined Bells Line of Road about 1km west of Valley View Road, Dargan.

Ref: Map showing the various attempts to find the best route from Mt Victoria to the Western Country by Alex Wilson, 1914. On Maddox Line is also the notation, “Route suggested by delegates of Richmond Committee for Road Mudgee to Wellington Valley”. Also text, “Stock route Cullen Bullen to Bells Line opened by Thomas Maddox. ”

Is a non perennial creek rising south east of Mount Airly. It flows generally south, south west for about 3km into Reedy Creek. First shown on the map Parish of Coco, County of Roxburgh, 4th edition, 1918. To date, no research has unearthed the origin of who Malcolm was. Perhaps with Scottish names in this area, such as Airly and McLeans, it may have been named after King Malcolm of Scotland.

Joins Hut Trail at GR 221 301 and continues to Glen Davis Road at GR 234 314, and in doing so crosses Malcolms Gully, hence the name of this trail.
