Overview
Explore the World Heritage-listed wilderness of the Blue Mountains on the perfect long weekend escape, just 90 minutes from Sydney. This three-day highlights itinerary takes in the very best walks the region has to offer, based in the charming mountain town of Katoomba. Expect dramatic sandstone escarpments, ancient eucalypt forest, cascading waterfalls, hanging swamps and the iconic Three Sisters — one of Australia's most recognisable natural landmarks. Upgraded accommodation options are available for those seeking extra comfort. Arrive early on day one and there is time to fit in an additional walk, with notes included in your walk pack.
Highlights
- Descents through lushly forested areas to vantage points with close up views of waterfalls
- Creeping vines, green moss and giant trees
- Potential to catch a glimpse of the elusive Lyrebird
- Hike into the depths of stunning canyons where forest giants tower overhead with the sounds of flowing water, birdsong and wind in the trees
- Witness the evocative blue haze that gives the mountains their name, as you hike through eucalyptus forest
