About
Blue Mountain Resort, also known as the Blue Mountains or Blue Mountains National Park, is a mountain range in New South Wales, Australia, set within the national park of the same name. The area is part of a UNESCO World Heritage listing, and its address is Blue Mountains NSW 2780.
The landscape is the main draw. Wide eucalyptus forests run across the ridges, and the land drops away in dramatic cliffs that give the range much of its character. Among its best-known features is the Three Sisters rock formation, which is often the first thing visitors come to see.
Why visit
- Eucalyptus forest walks and mountain scenery
- Cliff-top views over the valleys
- The Three Sisters rock formation
- A natural setting within a UNESCO World Heritage area
Many people visit the Blue Mountains as a day trip from Sydney, which makes it an easy choice for a single day away from the city. Because the range is large and spread out, it suits a visit built around a few chosen lookouts and walks rather than an attempt to see everything in one go.
Planning your trip
The Blue Mountains are a national park, so visitors should expect a natural environment rather than a set attraction with fixed facilities. For questions before you travel, the contact number is +61 2 4780 5000.
