It's big, blue and beautiful! Blue Mountains National Park is located just 60 kilometres west of Sydney. It is unique in it's history, its wildlife and world famous scenery. The landscape is part of the traditional country of Aboriginal people including Daruk, Gundungurra, Wiradjuri and Dharwal. The park includes the Grose Wilderness, dedicated for its wild unspoilt natural beauty. At Katoomba see the Three Sisters and Katoomba Falls. Glenbrook, (45 minutes from Sydney) has camping areas, scenic picnic areas, Aboriginal cultural sites and swimming holes. There are 300 kilometres of heritage walking tracks and hundreds of lookouts, most within easy reach of a string of train stations. It's a wilderness made easy to get to! Part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, this park is internationally recognised and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2000 for its outstanding and universal values of significance for all people.
