To celebrate the 200th anniversary of the crossing of the Blue Mountains we have refreshed our AMAZE gallery with 36 fascinating objects, including an original letter by Frenchman Francis Louis Barrallier who made the first recognised attempt in 1802. He was a day away from achieving his goal but had to turn back due to food and water shortages.
