The Blue Mountains refers to a range of sandstone geological structures and the region in which they sit, both of which are located about 60 miles to the west of Sydney. As a tourist destination, the region offers the promise of relaxation, outdoor activity, great food, excellent accommodation options and magnificent natural beauty.
A plethora of activities for little ones makes the Blue Mountains a family-friendly holiday destination. Attractions on offer for children are varied in nature and there’s something available to suit all seasons, so parents can rest easy knowing that specific entertainment options are available when the weather precludes outdoor activities.
The Blue Mountains region is always busy with annual events and festivals, with something happening in every month of the year. Visitors often schedule their holidays to coincide with major events such as January’s Australia Day celebrations or the popular Blue Mountains Music Festival in March. There are also plenty of small events which visitors will love for their sense of community spirit.
Blessed with some of Australia’s most stunning natural beauty, the Blue Mountains is a destination sure to please any avid sightseer or holidaymaker looking to take some good photographs to present to family and friends back home. The Three Sisters generally comes top of most visitors’ sightseeing itineraries, while the Jenolan Caves and Mount Tomah Botanic Garden vie for second place.
Sydney International Airport is the chief international gateway to the Blue Mountains and is located just over five miles south of the centre of Sydney. The airport is a modern dual-terminal facility with Terminal 1 serving international flights and Terminal 2 serving domestic ones.
