Accompanying Governor Macquarie on his historic 1815 journey to Bathurst along the road that Cox had just completed, was naval surgeon and pioneer pastoralist Sir John Jamison.
During the journey, Macquarie named many of the geographical features in the Blue Mountains and on reaching the area known as Weatherboard Hut (now Wentworth Falls), he came upon a high tableland overlooking a vast valley.
He renamed the valley Jamison Valley for his companion and also gave Jamison's name to the creek that runs beside the valley.
