Rugged sandstone mountain ranges, cascading waterfalls and breathtaking views overlooking the dense eucalypts valleys – the naturally breathtaking World Heritage region of the Blue Mountains is an Australian highlight.

Just 90 minutes from Sydney by car, the Blue Mountains has some of the country’s most dazzling natural attractions. Discover the region on foot with dramatic views over the deep valley troughs carved out over millions of years. The lookouts at Wentworth Falls, Govetts Leap and Echo Point are among the most popular while the views from Sublime Point, Narrow Neck and Cahills Lookout are no less spectacular.
