Day 3. Blue Mountains
In the morning, you will head to the Blue Mountains National Park, one of Australia's most beautiful and popular destinations. The park is a UNESCO World Heritage site located 60 kilometres west of Sydney. The Blue Mountains got their name due to an unusual atmospheric effect. The evaporation from eucalyptus trees disperses sunlight, creating a characteristic blue hue that gives the mountains their colour.
The first stop is Featherdale Wildlife Park, where you can see koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, and other Australian wildlife.
Next, you will head to Katoomba, the main tourist centre of the Blue Mountains. Here, you can find numerous cafes, restaurants, and art galleries. Katoomba is also the starting point for many hiking trails and guided tours.
