OVERVIEW
OVERVIEW
The Blue Mountains, only 90 minutes from Sydney, is the most accessible World Heritage-listed wilderness area in Australia. The hike travels across the plateau, via the valley floor, and through canyons and across waterways. The walk begins in Blackheath and finds its way via Katoomba and onto Leura. The route includes some of the best tracks in the Mountains. As you walk you’ll be astonished by the sheer volume of incredible one of a kind vistas that the Blue Mountains is famous for.
Get up close to the Three Sisters as you walk the track to Leura. As you hike you will witness the breathtaking views of the famed Blue Mountains blanketed in the distinctive blue haze for which they were named. The descents into the valley are well worth the effort, as they afford you the luxury of walking up close to nature, to literally feel and smell the forest. The valley and canyon sections of the track take you via waterfalls and waterways and there is a high chance of spotting the elusive Lyrebird as you walk.
HIGHLIGHTS:
- 4 nights accommodation in excellent hotels, lodges and B&B’s
- Bridal Veil Falls, Govett’s Leap Lookout, the Jamison Valley via the Scenic Railway and the Waterfall Valley near Leura
- Enjoy the gorgeous little towns and the excellent gourmet food of the region
- We’ve chosen an assortment of walks that best showcases the one million hectares of the Blue Mountains National Park
