Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains get its name from the blue haze that surrounds the area, a result of the mist that emanates from the eucalyptus trees in the area. With eight connected conservation areas, the Blue Mountains region is a beautiful World Heritage site that helps visitors connect with some of the best of Australia’s natural beauty.

Being 60 kilometres from the city, the Blue Mountains is an immensely popular day trip destination for residents and visitors to Sydney. The Blue Mountains are sure to capture the hearts of all who visit, be it the mystical Jenolan Caves, the lush valleys, the magnificent waterfalls, or the unique scenery that dot the area. There is no shortage of things to do in the Blue Mountains, with bushwalking and hiking being the most popular activities. Echo Point is the most popular spot to observe the true splendour of the landscapes amplified by the sight of the Three Sisters, three rocky outcrops that lend the shape of the mountain range.
