Blue Mountains

"If you're in Sydney, you've got to go to the Blue Mountains." -- Traveller's Perspective

"Oh, they're quite boring. I wouldn't bother." --Sydney's Local Perspective

So two opposite thoughts on one attraction. "I think I'll find out for myself," I thought. And I'm glad I did.

The Blue Mountains are not the mountains one might imagine. They are more like big rolling hills. The beauty of the Blue Mountains is that they are a series of canyons covered with eucalyptus trees. The eucalyptus trees create a constant blue mist throughout the mountains - hence the name, "Blue Mountains."

Quite a view, the Blue Mountains are not to be missed. Hiking down Katoomba Falls through the rainforest, the unique mix of wildlife was truly amazing.
