 Description of Blue Mountains National Park
A World Heritage landscape that once intimidated explorers but now delights visitors. Famous lookouts and waterfalls around Govetts Leap (Blackheath), Echo Point (Katoomba) and Wentworth Falls provide panoramic views of dense forest and huge sandstone cliffs.
Over 140 kilometres of walking tracks of all grades (some accessible for people with a disability) in diverse settings make the Blue Mountains a bushwalker's paradise.
