A must-visit when in Sydney! I'd recommend spending a few days in the Blue Mountains. There are many accommodation options available around the Blue Mountains area.
If you opt to stay in central Sydney, expect a 2 hour drive at minimum per trip. I suggest starting the day early to make the most out of it. There are various lookouts with terrains of different difficulty level. Do Google and research prior to going. Some are not wheelchair-friendly.
Do remember to put on sunscreen if you are visiting in the summer. Hats, sunglasses and insect repellent are highly recommended especially if you have young kids. Wear comfortable shoes as there will be a lot of walking, climbing up and down the steps and walking on uneven surfaces. Do stock up on drinks and snacks/light bites as most places do not have shops. There are grocery markets and cafes/restaurants within the small towns though they do close early.
Check-out online if the places you intend to visit has a picnic area/waterfall area for a quick swim. Do be cautious of snakes and spiders as you are in the mountainous area.
Overall, the Blue Mountains is definitely an experience for all. We couldn't enjoy it enough and will definitely return again.
The Blue Mountains National Park is the most attractive place in New South Wales Australia. A very nice place to spend time with family and friends. It offered a blend of history of Aboriginal culture and civilization. The scenic views of the 3 sisters mountains and the Echo points gives you good feeling. The oldest coal mines of Australia, waterfalls, sky cable cars, walkways and the world's steepest railway are amazing. Also a perfect destination for a hike.
Facilities with the park are well maintained.
Coffee and tea shops are available, Washroom facilities are good and clean .
The Blue Mountains offer breathtaking views of rugged cliffs and cascading waterfalls, surrounded by lush eucalyptus forests. It's a serene escape where you can explore nature trails and witness the stunning Three Sisters rock formation.
Easy to reach from Sydney by train, no need to drive, many great trails for trekking or hiking, love the Katoomba Falls trail, takes around 40 minutes to reach the bottom or takes the cable car for $66 return
