About this place
Just 90 minutes from Sydney by train, the Blue Mountains are one of NSW's most spectacular natural wonders. Ancient eucalyptus forests, dramatic sandstone cliffs, and cascading waterfalls make this a must-visit. The Three Sisters at Echo Point are the most famous sight — best viewed at sunrise or sunset when the rock faces glow orange and pink.
