A historic concrete mile peg, marking Liverpool’s four-mile stretch to Camden, has vanished after seventy years on Camden Valley Way — a poignant loss for local history. Once vital for navigation on the Old Hume Highway, this last of its kind in the area was championed by Glen op den Brouw of the Liverpool Historical Society, who fought for its heritage listing. Now missing, possibly stolen or damaged, he’s pleading for its return — even offering forgiveness — as it symbolizes a bygone era of sandstone milestones and colonial mapping. Transport NSW denies removal and is investigating, while op den Brouw laments the theft, questioning the motives behind taking something that once guided generations. These markers, though outdated, are more than relics — they’re tangible links to how Australia once measured its roads and connected its towns.
