Blue Mountains

With a blue horizon of eucalyptus trees that appear to stretch on forever, expect to be enchanted by the natural beauty of the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. Set out on foot to explore some of the 140 kilometres (87 miles) of walking tracks, admire the native bushland, marvel at the impressive rock formations and explore underground caves on a holiday centred around the outdoors.

Listen to Dreaming stories told by local Aboriginal guides and admire the work of resident artists before retiring to a luxury retreat surrounded by wilderness.

Must Try

• Set out on one of the many bushwalking trails
• Relax at the secluded One&Only Wolgan Valley Resort and Spa
• Enjoy fine dining at Darleys Restaurant
