Lincoln’s Rock offers spectacular views across the densely forested Jamieson Valley. Even in fog, this view is captivating. Sublime Lookout offers a superb panorama across the Jamieson Valley from which the rocky pinnacles of the Three Sisters can be seen (we prefer this spot to the more popular Echo Point lookout which can be overrun by tourists). Leura Cascades Picnic Area is a charming spot amidst tall eucalypts and giant ferns where a short bush walk takes us past enchanting water cascades to a picturesque lookout over the Bridal Veil Falls. Echo Point Lookout is the closest you can get to the famous Three Sisters. Although very touristy, it provides an excellent close-up photo opportunity. Aboriginal Sites The first people of this region were tribes of the Dharug and Gundungurra language groups. For at least 22,000 years they have walked these hills, and today remain spiritually connected to the Blue Mountains. Long ago, creation stories helped these ancient communities make sense of the world around them. Today, you will be taken to some places of significance to these people and share a few of their creation stories. On the way to the Blue Mountains, you can visit the Featherdale Sydney Wildlife Park which offers close encounters with a range of classic Aussie animals such as wallabies, kangaroos, koalas, dingoes and echidnas. Alternatively, your tour guide may, depending on the conditions of the day, take you to see free-roaming kangaroos and wallabies grazing in the wild. Your itinerary will help decide which village to stop in for lunch. And if you want time to stroll and shop for unique local arts and crafts, this can be arranged. You have the option of driving through the site of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, now a social and sporting hub close to the Parramatta River. You can farewell your guide here and take a catamaran ferry (at your own expense) back into the city, passing under the Sydney Harbour Bridge and travelling past the Opera House before docking at Circular Quay or be dropped off at your CBD accommodation.~~~~ |
