The Blue Mountains

Sydney - NSW - Australia

The majestic Blue Mountains in NSW has it all for any traveller; spectacular valley views from atop sandstone escarpment, breath-taking waterfalls, and a vast array of fauna and fauna. While the better known sites of Echo Point and the Three Sisters are a site to behold and easily accessible to all, some exploring away from the thong of visitors reveals charms like Empress cascades, Wentworth Falls and the Under-cliff walking track

It is a photographer’s paradise for any time of the year and no view is ever the same.

An easy 1 hr drive west of Sydney and serviced by both bus and train services it is good for a day trip or better experienced over a few days.
