The Blue Mountains
A trip through the gum trees of Sydney’s mountainous neighbour can be more than just a scenic drive. Head up the A32 and you can stop off at the high-ropes of Trees Adventure Groves River Park in Yarramundi, before heading on to see the natural wonders of Wentworth Falls and the Three Sisters in Katoomba. Motor on another hour around the Megalong Valley, and you’ll find epic stalactites in the Jenolan Caves, the world’s oldest underground caverns. There you can explore on a self-guided tour, one of the more physical adventure tours, or if you and the kids are brave enough, the blood-curdling ghost tour.
