8Blue Mountains National Park
Located a short ride away from Sydney, Blue Mountains is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. There are plenty of hiking, horseback riding, walking and rock climbing opportunities for visitors, in addition to a host of other outdoor activities and close nature encounters. Blue Mountains National Park makes for a fantastic weekend getaway from Sydney if you are looking to trade the city’s chaos and sophistication with some old-worldly, rugged charm. Lots of day trip options in and around the national park, which can be combined into a thrilling weekend itinerary.
We are very close to blue mountains. Love them. Agree with other things on the list too.
