The proper path taken by Remembrance Drive is from Camden South, Camden through the Razorback Range, passing through the towns of Picton, Tahmoor, Bargo and Yanderra and onwards to Aylmerton. In addition to the former alignment of the Hume Highway, it was also a part of the Remembrance Driveway that spanned from Sydney to Canberra. After the Remembrance Driveway was realigned to the present Hume Highway alignment in late 1980s, the former route is designated as Remembrance Drive.The driveway is historic, being a part of the original Great South Road, servicing the traffic between Sydney and Melbourne. The first road over the Razorback range was cut in 1825 by convict gangs. The current route was cleared in 1830. Some sections of the route still utilise the concrete pavement laid in the 1920s and 30s. The stretch along the Razorback Range is relatively steep. Between Picton and Bargo, the route passes through the town of Tahmoor instead of following the an even older Hume Hwy route through Thirlmere, Hill Top and Colo Vale. It was redesignated as State Highway 89 after the alignment of Hume Highway changed.The towns and settlements along the route are historic and a tourist attraction in their own right."@en }
