Hidden beneath towering sandstone cliffs near Leura lies Dark's Cave — a rugged sandstone overhang that became both a retreat and a place of inspiration for two of the Blue Mountains' most fascinating figures: Dr Eric Dark, a pioneering mountaineer, conservationist and social reformer, and Eleanor Dark, one of Australia's most celebrated novelists.

On this half-day heritage hike, you'll follow in their footsteps, walking through magnificent Blue Mountains bushland, past dramatic views over the Grose Valley, before reaching the historic cave itself. Along the way, your professional guides — archaeologists and historians — bring the story of the Darks, their writing, politics, and adventurous spirit to life.
