Ok, the Blue Mountains are not "off the beaten path", but they make for a great day trip out of Sydney.
The train ride from Sydney to Katoomba takes about 2 hrs and you'll step out into a beautiful scenery of steep hills covered with gum trees. The name "Blue Mountains" derives from the blueish mist of oil, given off these gum trees.
There are lots of great walks to be done, or for the lazy...great rides at Scenic World. Of course you can combine both...
A combined train & explorer bus ticket costs 36 AU$ for a day.

penumbra Wed Sep 26, 2007 01:36 UTC I didn�t know they had a monorail. It looks like once you get to the shore, the choice of beaches is endless.
