Why Visit the Blue Mountains?

The Greater Blue Mountains Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site (inscribed in 2000), covering over 1 million hectares of protected wilderness just 2 hours from Sydney UNESCO Wikipedia.

• Rare species including the Wollemi pine – a “living fossil” discovered in 1994 that dates back to dinosaur times • Over 400 animal species and 1,500 plant species, making it a biodiversity hotspot • Rich Aboriginal cultural heritage with 6 Aboriginal groups having traditional connection to the Country
