About The Blue Mountains
The Blue Mountains are a mere 48km east of Sydney, however, once you
have arrived, you will discover that you are not only away from the
City, you are in a completely different world.
The Blue Mountains Landscape
Best
described by some as an area of harsh tablelands, dramatic cliffs,
steep, inhospitable valleys, rivers and lakes brimming with life.
Others however, will happily tell you about the incredible diversity
of wildlife, rare species of Wollemi pine (which happens to be a living
fossil dating back tens of thousands of years) and sandstone plateau
ranging from less than 100 metres above sea level to over 1300 metres
above sea level at its highest point.
The diverseness of the area offers something for every person
imaginable to do. Whether you prefer to fish, take nature walks, explore
the Waterfalls of Wentworth Falls, visit the Three Sisters vigilantly
guarding the Jamison Valley below or taking a bushwalk through the
forest, there is something for everyone.
