A Guide To Visiting The Majestic Blue Mountains From Sydney A Globe Well Travelled

From scenic overlooks along Lookout Mountain to the waves crashing on sandy shores or the towering buildings in Atlanta to historic bridges and battlefields, Georgia tourism has much to offer. If you're looking for a day trip that will combine a few adventures, check out Scenic World's Great Round Walk , which includes the Scenic Skyway, Prince Henry Cliffwalk, Giant Staircase and Federal Pass. Taking an hour and 45 minutes to complete, this appealing walk will allow you to immerse yourself in the majestic grandness of the Blue Mountains.

The Blue Mountains is renown for its gardens, many featuring large displays of cool-climate loving flowers and deciduous trees. The Blue Mountains span a great many country towns, but I chose to start in Katoomba because it seemed like where the main hub of tourist activity began and where the main visitor center is located.

I imagine this spot could get quite busy in the summertime, as the falls are quite an enticing place to jump Blue Mountains in for a quick dip after a few hours of bush-walking, but in cooler weather, Minehaha is a quiet place to be. There are a number of stairs to descend and ascend to-and-from the falls, but not much different to what you may have already experienced in the Blue Mountains.

IF you have heard of the place called Scenic World while researching your Blue Mountains tour and are wondering what this place is all about then read on for a quick intro. Feature gardens include North American Woodland and the Heath and Heather Garden, and you can take a delightful walk through The Jungle, a 33-hectare tract of Blue Mountains rainforest.

If you're catching the train, a great way to do this walk is to combine it with the Cliff Top Track — walk from Blackheath train station to Govetts Leap, along the Cliff Top Track to Evans Lookout, around the Grand Canyon loop , back along Cliff Top to Govetts Leap, returning to Blackheath train station.

The Scenic Skyway takes you across a deep ravine, passing Katoomba Falls. Walk to the first drop of Wentworth Falls , and then walk down the valley of the waters. Return via the same track or for more cliff views follow the Round Walk-Echo Point sign to Majestic Lookout before turning right (north) to return to the picnic area.
