'This play will help celebrate the Bicentenary of the Crossings of the Blue Mountains.
It is a lively, interactive exploration of crossings from the Aboriginals who have crossed for forty thousand years, through explorers such as Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson, surveyor Evans, road-builder Cox, women pioneers Elizabeth Hawkins and Louisa Meredith, convicts and even the dogs, horses and bullocks who made the journeys possible.'
