Blue Mountains (or just green)

---

The Blue Mountains, a vast landscape that's actually green to be honest, but in the right light and when the sun starts to evaporate the forests of eucalyptus (commonly called gum trees) they discharge a fine mist of eucalyptus oil from their leaves. The mist refracts light, which makes the haze look blue at a distance.

Some amazing veiws from the various lookout posts, and some stupidly large ants walking around place.
