    [https://www.flickr.com/photos/51979177@N02] Good work there! And a good educated guess about the Wollondilly and Cox rivers. The Hawkesbury tends to have sand edges, not pebbles or rocks as seen here.

    Hi-res map showing all the submerged settlements and old roads - might be of use ...

    They would need SCUBA gear now - it is under Warragamba Dam. 1937 interactive map showing extensive settlements swamped by the lake - www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview?pi=nla.map-vn4180400-sd&rg...

    beachcomber australia Thanks for the info; we've changed the date above to pre-1937.

    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection It is only the map which is dated 1937; I don't know when the area was flooded; probably about 1960. But late 1930s seems about right for many of these photos for railway carriage decoration.

    Great photo and love the map. I own a more recent version of the map. Also, I've uploaded a couple of my father's photos of Burragorang Valley in the 1950s to Flickr.
