Wakeup in the morning to be greeted with that amazing crispness in the air.
Step out doors and you will agree the scenery is just breathtaking.
Wonder where this is? Ofcourse the region known as the “Blue Mountains”
just over a hour from Sydney is the perfect holiday destination for
those who love a holiday in spectacular scenic surroundings. Being a
popular holiday destination, the choice you get when selecting a place
to stay is just great. Suggest you book into one of the self contained
accommodation in Blue Mountains such as one of the accommodation cabins in Blue Mountains to begin your romantic getaways in Blue Mountains.
Holidays in the region must include exploration of the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park.
The blue haze engulfing the thick eucalypt vegetation, deep valleys and
fascinating sandstone cliffs are just breathtaking whether you are a
lover of nature or not.
Visitors can enjoy the beauty of the Blue Mountains in many exciting ways. Take a ride in the Scenic Skyway which takes you across the Jamison Valley or you could take a ride in the scenic railway, being one of the steepest railway rides you will ever experience which takes you to the floor of the Jamison Valley.
Your next stop should be the Blue Mountains Botanic Gardens in Mount Tomah.
A relaxing day in the gardens will give you the chance to be educated
about the flora and fauna in the pretty gardens which is home to more
than 40,000 plant species from around the world.
Blue Mountains is an absolute treasure if you are interested in visiting Aboriginal sacred sites. Obviously you need to join a guided tour and a couple of places to experience the Aboriginal culture are the Waradah Aboriginal Centre and the Gully Aboriginal Interpretive Walk.
Hiking expeditions to explore the national park are also available.
Plenty of information on hiking tours and the Aboriginal culture
experience walks can be obtained from the Tourist Information Centre
located at Echo Point close to the ever so spectacular “Three Sisters” mountain ranges. The townships such as Leura, Katoomba, Blackheath, Wentworth Falls, Glenbrook
are very pretty and you will be able to enjoy the attractions in
Katoomba and Leura at a leisurely pace by opting to commute in a hop in
hop off bus.
Stayinga weekend or few more days extra in the mountains is a must if you like
to explore the region fully. Enjoy some great food in one of the cafes
or restaurants in a quaint mountain township and wonder through the many
craft shops, collectable boutiques and antique shops in the region. You
are bound to collect something which you will treasure for a long time.
Before you leave the mountains, a visit to the spectacular Jenolan Caves (about 1hr 15minutes from Katoomba) is
a must. The spectacular limestone formations in the underground caves
and fascinating underground rivers are best enjoyed while on a guided
tour with an experienced tour guide. This is an adventure which will
thrill the whole family.
