Let the early morning greet you with crisp, mountain air as fresh as you've ever imagined. And take a moment to appreciate the depth and beauty of valleys green and blue which stretch for miles. At close of day, sense the changing mood as the sun's fading light brings new life to the breathtaking cliffs and forests of this special place. The Blue Mountains really are a wonderland of natural charm. But what's special about them is that they have always been accessible. Some call them magnificent. Some call them home. And as a visitor, you're bound to call again.
