The Corn Trail Linked the Tablelands of Braidwood to the Coast

The Corn Trail linked the tablelands of Braidwood and the Monaro to the coast.

It was first pioneered in the 1830s by settlers of the Bolero Valley to trade produce with their neighbours on the tablelands. The major crop of the fertile valley was corn which was transported by pack horse. The track was also used to bring cattle down from the tablelands for adjistment.  It was superseded in 1853 when a dray road was constructed down the nearby Clyde Mountain. The track was almost lost until volunteers re-opened it in 1988, as a bicentennial project.

It commences at the top of the Clyde Mountain at Monga and winds down through the Monga National Park and the Buckenbowra River to the Bolero Valley.
