New South Wales - Blue Moutains

Jump down to find what to do and where to stay in the Blue Mountains

Immediately west of Sydney (about an hour and a half away) are the Blue Mountains - named after the blue mist that rises from the forests of eucalyptus that cover them. It's an ideal place for bushwalking amongst the craggy peaks and cavernous gorges, and is a haven for wildlife.

The Blue Mountains are part of a spectacular World Heritage Area that covers more than one million hectares. Here you can enjoy clean, fresh mountain air and four distinct seasons.

Staying in historic guesthouses, exploring heritage areas and discovering a vibrant arts scene are all part of the Blue Mountains experience. The area offers a variety of adventure activities, including bushwalking, rock-climbing and canyoning.
