Blue Mountains

Location: New South Wales, Australia

The Blue Mountains offer breathtaking views, rugged tablelands, sheer cliffs, waterfalls, deep, inaccessible valleys and swamps teeming with life.

The region is particularly renowned for its high diversity of eucalypts, with 91 different species. There is a blue haze to the air caused by the eucalyptus oil given off by the blanket of trees in the area.
