Getting to the Blue Mountains from Sydney

The foot of the Blue Mountains lies just to the west of Sydney and there are a variety of day trips from Sydney to the Blue Mountains for you to choose from. Enjoy the scenic one and a half hour trip as your guide fills you in on the area’s folklore and points out the many interesting landmarks along the way.

On your Blue Mountains day trip from Sydney you can
• Hand-feed kangaroos and visit Featherdale Wildlife Park. At the park, there are also emus (large flightless Australian birds) for you to view and koalas you might get the chance to cuddle.
• Immerse yourself in the culture of the Australian Aboriginal people. Blue Mountains tours regularly stop by the Koomurri Aboriginal Centre where indigenous art and dance are on display.
• Journey to Katoomba where you can visit Echo Point Lookout to see the Three Sister rock formation looming over the Jamison Valley. According to one story, the rocks are actually sisters forever transformed into stone, as way to protect them from the war raging between their tribe and the tribe of the three brothers who were in love with them.
• Join a 4WD tour from Katoomba and head deeper into the valley. Enjoy off-roading with seasoned guides who know where to find the most breathtaking locations in the Blue Mountains. See magnificent Lost City rock formations and explore the Capertree Valley – the world’s widest valley!
• Sign up for a two day 4WD Blue Mountains tour instead of just one. That’s twice as much time to find all the treasures Blue Mountains holds. You also get to experience the awesome sunset AND sunrise on the blue horizon! If you wish, take along your own camping gear and spend the night gazing up at the star-filled sky.
• Go hiking through the mountains to see stunningly beautiful waterfalls. Along the way, marvel at the untamed landscapes of the Blue Mountains which hold wildlife such as kangaroos. Your guide can fill you in on Aboriginal dreamtime tales as you look out for interesting rock carvings made by these ancient tribes.
