Sydney Off the Beaten Path Tips by leffe3

Approximately 2 hours to the west of the city are the Blue Mountains, a natural barrier to the westward spread of Sydney.

It is a spectacular sight, and one of the easiest places to reach out of Sydney for a day trip or two week holiday, trekking through the bush.

If you want to travel independently, an easy option is the train to Katoomba, from where some of the major sites (Three Sisters, Scenic Railway etc) are nearby. But many of the main Blue Mountain attractions are accessible at the various stations on this train line.
