The Blue Mountains is Australia’s one of the greatest rejuvenation areas for those who love to prefer dense forests instead of visiting beaches. The mountains are stretches from Gippsland region of Victoria in the south to the tropical rainforests of north Queensland.
A large majority of the Blue Mountains is incorporated in the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site and its constituent seven national parks and a conservation reserve. Covering around 1436 square kilometers forest area, the mountains is enclosed by several regions that provide a vast array of tourist attractions and places of interest. It is almost difficult for trekkers to explore the entire region in a single day however, one requires around more than one week to truly experience the magic of the Blue Mountains and its environs.
The nearness of mountains from bustling city Sydney makes it an ideal destination as far as the trekking of mountains is concerned. It hardly takes 50 minutes to arrive at the entrance Glenbrook/Lapstone form Sydney.
Mountain’s climate is somewhat more temperate as compare to Sydney. Usually temperature decrease around 2°C at every 300 meters. And at the crest of mountain temperature drops nearly 7°C. The biting cool air of winter makes the mountain a perfect destination.
Nowhere else in the world, you can catch such a bird eye view but the only thing is that you have to take a ride on Skyway. A 720-meter journey 270m above ancient ravines and dazzling waterfalls is a lifelong experience. The ride takes you in the three sisters, katoomba falls, solitary and the never ending expanse of the jamison valley. In short, the Blue Mountains offer a natural wonderland of untamed bush, spectacular rock formations and native wildlife.
