Comment from Emma
1. Blue Mountains
This World Heritage listed forest is only two hours west of Sydney.
Its sandstone gorges and peaks are dense with eucalypts whose oil
reacts with the air to create the distinct blue haze that gives these
mountains their name. Standout attractions here include the Three
Sisters rock formation, Leura village and the township of Katoomba.
