Mileposts captured the distance of the past

The white concrete mileposts in Camden, remnants of the Hume Highway, mark distances to destinations like Sydney and Mittagong. Originating from Roman times, these posts were part of a 1934 initiative to standardize road markers in NSW, aiding both travelers and road maintenance. They reflect Camden's cultural and engineering heritage.
