Australia - Sydney & Surrounds:The Blue Mountains
Aptly named The Blue Mountains because of the "blue" haze, which is emitted from the Eucalyptus forests. The Blue Mountains offers a natural wonderland of untamed bush, spectacular rock formations and native wildlife.
Located less than two hour's drive from Sydney the views reach to the horizon, waterfalls plummet to the valleys below and rainforest-clad escarpments are filled with colourful parrots.
The Blue Mountains has activities to satisfy all age groups and interests. One can explore the picturesque towns and villages with shops, boutiques, art and antique galleries, and cafes. For the more adventurous the surrounding landscape allows activities for all ages and fitness levels from high adventure abseiling, mountain biking or horse riding, to a gentle stroll through the pristine scenery.
