As an Australian who lives in Sydney and knows the Blue Mountains crossing well, it was amusing to hear the pronunciation of the people and places. The Cox’s River is a well known and prominent river that runs through the Blue Mountains (great trout fishing). Most of the current road is part of the original road with a different route later made from Mt York down to the plains. This is a big part of our history.
Unnecessarily nasty comment. Cox's work was an outstanding engineering achievement and hugely important in making sure the new colony did not starve. You cannot judge what happened to the Aborigines by today's standards and there was no intention to 'massacre and enslave' them with this road. Enslavement never happened by the way, although sadly massacres did happen - by both Europeans and Aborigines.

Jason as a Newfoundlander with deep history in North America I get it. My family are key to the expeditions up to the North. Rock on Brother.
Absolutely wonderful Jason, you must be so proud
Great history be proud Jason.
I love the Farnham reference.
I genuinely thought "Is that Elton John?", when I saw that woman, at the beginning.
Anyway, very interesting.
Equal apart from the natives.
You ain't seen nothing yet.
The road enabled the massacre and enslavement of the original people of this "egalitarian " nation. Be proud, Jase
You can't blame the tool for a crime that was made, and you can't ignore the good that was made by the same tool.
