Almost on the edge of Sydney, and visible on a clear day from the city's observation towers, the beautiful Blue Mountains are the perfect destination for an idyllic day trip from the hustle-bustle of downtown Sydney. Protected as a national park, the Blue Mountains reward visitors with the stunning scenery of rugged sandstone outcrops, cavernous valleys and towering eucalyptus forests, and the charming mountain towns are the focus of teashops and antique stores.
A favorite haven of bushwalkers and rock climbers, the area offers outdoor pursuits, scenic drives, manicured gardens, leisurely shopping and pampering at spas and luxurious accommodations. Other attractions include the Zig Zag Railway, Katoomba Scenic Railway, Norman Lindsay Gallery at Springwood and the Jenolan Caves.

I do wish the lunch had been a bit more creative. The food was somewhat bland, particularly for the price.
