The Blue Mountains of Australia

If you stay in Sydney or traveling to Australia Blue Mountains has to be on travel bucket list. Actually, Blue Mountains get their name from the natural blue haze created by vast eucalypt forests in this World Heritage area. Tiny droplets of oil released from the trees mix with water vapour and sunlight to produce the distinctive color.

The Three Sisters

The natural-wonder tourist attractions are The Three Sisters, three fingers of rock, which have been eroded from a line of cliff (please note the story about them being sisters from the Dreamtime who fell in love with brothers from a neighbouring tribe isn't a Dreamtime story) and the Jenolan Caves, a spectacular system of show caves. Most people will view the Three Sisters from the platform and continue on the walk, which has steps and a metal walkway to protect your feet from getting too muddy. Most tourists will also ride the scenic railway, which is the steepest railway in the world, like a cross between a roller coaster and a monorail. There is also a cable car from one plateau to another.

 Walkers Paradise

 

There are countless possible walking routes, from the above-mentioned tourist trails to multi-day camping trips out into remote regions of the park. These are just some of your options. This is a National Park so as you get away from the towns you can expect to see lots of wildlife in a beautiful bush setting. 

Some Other Activities

 As well as bushwalking you can also ride (bikes or horses), go fishing, rock climbing or spend a day at a spa. Catch the train up to Katoomba or drive from Sydney, there are plenty of places to stay, this isn't really a remote bush experience, it is fast becoming part of Sydney's commuter belt. You can expect to find all the comforts of home including good restaurants and cafes and a cinema, just at a higher elevation and a nicer view. Expect it to be cooler than Sydney?it sometimes even snows.
