John Berghofer (born Johannes Wilhelm Berghöfer) was a German-born migrant who helped shape the Blue Mountains, yet was later pushed aside by the country he called home. From farming in Sydney’s south to building roads, schools and businesses in Mount Victoria, his most enduring legacy is Berghofer Pass — a vital alternative to Victoria Pass that transformed travel across the mountains.
This video traces Berghofer’s life, the construction of the Pass running below Victoria Pass, and the anti-German hysteria of World War I that forced his removal from public life, leaving behind a road, a story, and a legacy written into stone.
