History of Kanangra Boyd National Park
The slope leading up to the Kanangra Plateau was made in 1942 by Australian Army Engineers. It was intended to be part of the Oboron stock route; where; in the advent of Australia being invaded by the Japanese cattle, sheep & possibly pigs would be driven, via Burragorang valley to Oberon - crossing the Kanangra Plateau The battle of guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands where the Japanese suffered their first defeat (1942) stopped the Japanese thrust and the Oberon stock route was not needed. You can still drive the stock route in a 2wd vehicle towards Yerranderie, and old ghost town now privately owned and run for tourism. It isn't a through route though.
