The upper Grose is regarded as the cradle of conservation in NSW. At the centre of the valley lies the magnificent Blue Gum Forest, the site of which was the first major conservation battle in the state in 1931. The forest was saved from logging by a group of bushwalkers who formed the Colong Committee for Wilderness Conservation. \n\nThe Blue Mountains formed an impenetrable barrier to inland settlement until Gregory Blaxland, William Lawson and William Wentworth established a route across in 1813 3. George Evans surveyed the first road that convict labourers, under the direction of William Cox, built shortly thereafter.
