Statement of Significance
The Mount Magnet to Lawlers Coach Route has historic significance for its association with early transportation across the Sandstone district. It made the district more accessible and allowed for increased communications between the towns.
History
Constructed in the early 1900s when the gold rushes were underway in the Sandstone and the goldfields, this coach route provided a much needed access way across the district. It was used by prospectors, miners, pastoral settlers, bullock, camel and horse team drivers and those travelling through the area whether on horse, on foot, in a sulky or on a bicycle. A number of wells provided watering spots along the way.
