Blue Mountains National Park
Encompassing 267,954 hectares of wilderness within the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Greater Blue Mountains Area, the Blue Mountains National Park comprises six distinct areas, from the eastern gateway at Glenbrook to remote hidden corners near Oberon in the south-west. This is the landscape that so intrigued Charles Darwin during his visit in 1836, describing the views from Wentworth Falls as “exceedingly well worth visiting”. With hundreds of bushwalking trails, lookouts at iconic landmarks such as the world-famous Three Sisters, dozens of beautiful waterfalls, glowing sandstone escarpments and far-reaching views of blue-hazed valleys, you too will be captivated by the rugged beauty of this treasure on Sydney’s doorstep. Pack a picnic and enjoy a day trip to marvel at the Three Sister rock formation from Echo Point in Katoomba. Take in sweeping views of sheer sandstone cliffs and hazy blue Grose Valley from Govetts Leap in Blackheath. At Wentworth Falls you’re spoilt for choice with world-class lookouts, walks and waterfalls. The National Park is a walker’s paradise, boasting over 140km of track and trails. Why not walk a section of historic Prince Henry Cliffs walk, between Katoomba and Leura; or descend into the Grand Canyon. Combine a short walk with Aboriginal rock art or a swim in a natural pool near Glenbrook. Mountain bike riders can tackle the famed Woodford-Oaks trail, scenic Narrow Neck or Faulconbridge Ridge trail. There are also great opportunities for adventure sport tours, including abseiling, rock climbing and canyoning. Within two hours’ drive of Sydney, you can be camping by majestic eucalypts at Euroka, or watching a spectacular sunset at Perrys Lookdown. Seek solitude at remote Acacia Flat, or 4WD to Mount Werong or Burralow Creek for a night of stargazing and wildlife spotting.

Three Sister
The Three Sisters
The Three Sisters is the Blue Mountains’ most spectacular landmark. Located at Echo Point Katoomba, around 2.5 kilometres from the Great Western Highway, this iconic visitor attraction is experienced by millions of people each year. The Three Sisters is essentially an unusual rock formation representing three sisters who according to Aboriginal legend were turned to stone.
The character of the Three Sisters changes throughout the day and throughout the seasons as the sunlight brings out the magnificent colours. The Three Sisters is also floodlit until around 11pm each evening looking simply spectacular set against the black background of the night sky.
Each of the Three Sisters stands at 922, 918 & 906 metres tall, respectively.

Hanging rock
Hanging rock has fitted in so much over 6 million years… from a sacred place for local indigenous people and backdrop to Joan Lindsay’s book Picnic at Hanging Rock and Peter Weir’s film of the same title, to a colourful host of music concerts, markets and popular horse races, the Rock tells many tales about the history of the Macedon Ranges. Hanging Rock, or Mount Diogenes as it’s also known, is a rare volcanic formation near the townships of Woodend and Mount Macedon. One of the best examples of a volcanic plug or mamelon in the world, it has been exposed to considerable weathering and erosion, resulting in a conglomeration of unusual rock formations. Hanging Rock is about discovery and the Hanging Rock Discovery Centre is the perfect place to start.
Wentworth Falls
Wentworth Falls is one of the most beautiful towns within the Blue Mountains offering possibly the most spectacular bushwalks and views. Originally called ‘Weatherboard’ after the ‘Weatherboard Hut’ built in 1814, one year later the town was named ‘Jamison’s Valley’ by Governor Macquarie. In July 1867 the historic first railway journey in the Blue Mountains left Penrith station and travelled through to Weatherboard Station where the train terminated. It wasn’t until 1879 that the name was changed to Wentworth Falls in honour of William Charles Wentworth, one of the three famous explorers. When travelling from Bullaburra to Wentworth Falls you ascend Boddington Hill.

Visit Govetts Leap Lookout and Bridal Veil Falls Near Blackheath
Govetts Leap lets you take in sights of the Grose Valley, which IMHO is the most spectacular-looking valley in the Blue Mountains for its wrap-around sandstone cliffs, punctuated with dramatic waterfalls, canyons and rock formations. The lookout grounds are very tourist/traveller-friendly with a huge car park, toilets, picnic tables, a visitor centre and loads of vantage points from which to get your eyeful of the Grose. One big highlight is the view of Govetts Leap itself (aka Bridal Veil Falls or Govetts Leap Falls) – a beautiful avalanche of white water tumbling out from the cliff at Govetts Leap Brook.
