Waterfalls, lagoons and endless forest trails

Venture to the Blue Mountains National Park, a misty eucalyptus forest just outside of Sydney

The Blue Mountains National Park is one of Australia's many UNESCO World Heritage-listed landscapes, packed with dramatic cliffs, eucalyptus forests, and plunging waterfalls. The “blue” comes from the fine mist of eucalyptus oil released by the trees, creating a hazy blue glow across the valleys.

This is perfect destination for nature lovers.
