The Federal Pass forms a part of the unique cultural history of the Blue Mountains, and the original fabric and methods of construction have been preserved where possible. Take note of the reconstructed old style wooden staircase and steps, seats and the old bridges to the Side or underneath the new work.
The old is mixed with the new, with recycled plastics used for bridges and stairways. When visiting this area, you are enjoyng a dentury old tradition of bushwalking.
