The World Heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park is situated on 266,859 hectares and is located approximately 110 kilometres west of Sydney. More than three million people come to Blue Mountains National Park each year. For many, it's enough just to find a lookout and gaze across the park's chiselled sandstone outcrops and hazy blue forests. Others walk or cycle along the cliff-tops and in the valleys, following paths that were created for Victorian-era honeymooners, or discovered by Aboriginal hunters many thousands of years ago. Over 140 km of walking tracks of all grades (some accessible for people with a disability) in diverse settings make the Blue Mountains a bushwalker's paradise.
This park, which is part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, protects an unusually diverse range of vegetation communities. There are rare and ancient plants and isolated animal populations tucked away in its deep gorges. This is a vast and special place.
Ridges that overlap into the hazy blue distance, chiselled sandstone outcrops,endless forests clinging somehow to bare rock, plunging waterfalls - the
landscape of Blue Mountains National Park isn't easily forgotten.
Blue Mountains National Park offers panoramic views from famous lookouts and waterfalls at Govett's Leap (Blackheath), Echo Point (Katoomba), and
Wentworth Falls. The park offers a variety of activities including, camping, lookouts, bushwalking, rockclimbing, swimming, Aboriginal sites and picnics
areas.
