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.
Holidays in the Blue Mountains
This is perfect destination for nature lovers. Wander along scenic hiking trails to hidden waterfalls, discover small lagoons perfect for a refreshing swim, and enjoy lookout points with views that stretch for miles. Spring and autumn are the best times for walking holidays, with mild weather and vibrant scenery.
For families with little adventurers, the Blue Mountains is packed with fun; from the steep Scenic Railway to the cable cars and walkways at Scenic World, offering jaw-dropping perspectives of the park.
Blue Mountains tour from Sydney
The Blue Mountains can be reached by car or train from Sydney, making it an easy day trip, though staying overnight allows you to experience the tranquillity after the day-trippers have gone.
