Overview

The Blue Mountains are as dramatic as they are accessible. The World Heritage-listed landscape stretches across more than a million hectares of sheer sandstone escarpments, deep river gorges and the world's most diverse eucalypt forest, yet sits just 90 minutes from Sydney. Walks range from cliff-top strolls past the iconic Three Sisters to deeper descents into ancient canyons, lush fern gullies and past cascading waterfalls. The characteristic blue haze that gives the mountains their name - caused by eucalyptus oil particles refracting light - creates a sense of otherworldly beauty at every turn. Each day ends with a return to comfortable accommodation and the region's excellent restaurants.
