The Mount King George District provides views as glorious as anywhere on the Blue Mountains Plateau, and the only thing against it is its difficulty of access. Bell is the nearest station, the train service there is very poor, and the walk along the road, long and uninteresting. We got over this disadvantage by getting Mr. Matthews to take us by car from Mount Victoria. His car will hold seven, and, if he is to take you back as well as there, he will charge you only 12.10.0 (a little under 2/- a mile). He is on the 'phone and dependable. (In return for this free ad. Miss Editor, perhaps he might be induced to give you a paid one!) | The Mount King George District provides views as glorious as anywhere on the Blue Mountains Plateau, and the only thing against it is its difficulty of access.
