Campfire Creek to Red Hands CaveJust 1 hour west of the spectacular harbourside capital of New South Wales, the Blue Mountains run in parallel to the coastline, bordering the great coastal plain that sustains the city Sydney.
The Blue Mountains are named for their blue haze, a result of natural oils released into the air as vapour by forests of eucalyptus trees.
Always a popular weekend destination among Sydneysiders, the mountains are easily reached by train from the city. It takes about two hours to reach Leura and Katoomba, including a slow, zig-zagging climb up the moutain.
From Katoomba, catch a public bus or walk 1km to the iconic Three Sisters at Echo Point, with it’s view south across the forests of the Jamison Valley and beyond.
