Blue Mountains Day Trip

No holiday in Sydney is complete without a day trip to the picturesque Blue Mountains.

Just 1½ hours away from the bustling city, this serene location feels like a million miles away. Home to ancient Aboriginal rock art, Jenolan Caves, which are one of the oldest and best preserved cave systems in the world, the Three Sisters rock formation and an abundance of bush land and native wildlife.

For thrill seekers wanting to view the bush from a different perspective you can do so via the steepest train in the world and a cable car more than 200metres above the valley floor.
