Blue Mountains Outdoor Activities: Expert Guides, Tips & More

Massive sandstone cliffs and canyons, towering rock formations, limestone caves and some of the best bushwalking in NSW, if not Australia, make their home just west of Sydney. The Blue Mountains is a section of the Great Dividing Range that’s a serious must for Explorers of any skill level. Don’t just check out the Three Sisters, get down into those valleys and find yourself some proper seclusion.
