John Mathews and Barry French identify customary pathways

John Mathews and Barry French identify customary pathways from Darkinung lands to “Wonnarua Country”. They trace tracks from Rylstone and Muswellbrook to the Hunter Valley. One pathway from Cudgegong River into the Hunter Valley originates from Nullo Mountain and proceeds across Myrtle Creek into Widden Valley, or via Hunter main into Putty. The other leads down through Growee Gulf to the Goulburn River; from Dunns Swamp, pathways proceed across the Wollombi and down the Putty Road through Howes Valley to Bucketty. Other tracks run from Rylstone through Newnes, across the Colo River to the Putty Road. (Pathways across the Hunter, 15-16)
