Just beyond the Blue Mountains is Lithgow, the hub of a region known as the Seven Valleys. Lose yourself in the 4,500 square kilometres of unbridled beauty: wander World Heritage-listed Wollemi National Park or the pagoda rock formations of Gardens of Stone National Park, stay in a Bubbletent where the sky is your ceiling, marvel at glow worms or fill your lungs with mountain air on a MTB trail.
