Narrative

A valley draining south towards Nuggets Creek and lying parallel to the east coast, between North Mountain and Halfway Hill. This fault-defined valley can hardly be located on the 1971 map which is erroneous in several respects, but it is conspicuous on the 1991 Interim Image Map. Hidden Valley is invisible from the coast and is not commonly seen from the west because the main Overland Track lies the other side of North Mountain, hence its name which has been in common use by ANARE expeditioners for several years.
