It is in the Shellharbour LGA. This section of roadway is very steep, and contains a large number of hairpin bends , resulting in buses and trucks needing to reverse on some of the bends. The pass is quite notorious for accidents due to its nature, and drivers and riders are required to be cautious. After heavy rain, the Macquarie Pass can be closed due to flooding on the top half of the pass.

Orphan date February 2009 The Campbell Macquarie was a ship wrecked near Macquarie Island in 1812. The Campbell Macquarie was a ship of 248 tons, built at Calcutta , India and owned by Alexander & Co of Calcutta. On 22 March 1812 the ship, under the command of Richard Siddons left Sydney and arrived at Kangaroo Island , South Australia on 29 April 1812. There it took on board 1,650 seal skins and 33 tons of salt. On 21 May it left Kangaroo Island for Macquarie Island. At midnight on 10 June rocks were spotted. Tacking was not possible and so an anchor was dropped. The Campbell Macquarie struck the rocks at 1.30am and by 2am her stern post broke and water poured in. The pumps were unable to cope with the inflow and at daylight the crew began unloading the cargo, sails and rigging. Much of it was saved, only to be destroyed weeks later in a storm. On 28 June the ship was fired to salvage its ironwork. ref Australian Shipwrecks vol 1 1622 1850 , Charles Bateson , AH and AW Reed, Sydney, 1972, ISBN 0 589 07112 2 p48 ref The crew consisted of 12 Europeans and 30 Lascars , four of them who died whilst waiting for rescue. ref http www.nzetc.org tm scholarly tei McNMuri t1 body d1 d14.html Macquarie Island Trade, p184 ref On 20 October 1812, twelve of the crew were rescued by the Perseverance that had called at the island to take on board another sealing party.
