Nature in the Blue Mountains
Natural attractions are plentiful in the region. Highlights include the spectacular Jenolan Caves, Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mount Tomah and the walks, lookouts and waterfalls of the Blue Mountains National Park.
About the Blue Mountains
Grand sandstone plateaus, deep valleys and heath-lands are some of the striking natural features of the Greater Blue Mountains Area. This World Heritage-listed landscape is the perfect backdrop if you enjoy adventure holidays, family fun outdoors or simply admiring the best of nature.
The Blue Mountains region is just 90 minutes’ drive west of Sydney. Some of the towns in the region include Leura, Katoomba, Blackheath, Hartley and Lithgow.
This is a refreshing and invigorating environment with plenty to see and do. Outdoors, bushwalking is a popular activity while soaking up the atmosphere of a heritage-listed guesthouse or luxurious resort – with great food and wine, spa treatments and clifftop golf courses- is just as rewarding.
