Feel NEW daycations in NSW

Pace of life too hectic? Reclaim a sense of belonging with land and life at the picturesque Blue Mountains, one of Australia’s most spectacular wilderness areas. Only a two-hour drive from Sydney, the soaring sandstone ridges, spectacular gorges, streaming waterfalls, lush rainforests, expansive tablelands and rolling valleys make the region a great outdoor place any time of the year. It glows in autumn, chills in winter, bursts with colour in spring, and refreshes in summer.

One of the most visited sights here is the glorious rock formation known as the Three Sisters, best viewed from The Echo Point lookout in Katoomba. Experienced by millions each year, the view changes every hour as the sun moves from east to west.

The breath-taking Scenic Railway, the steepest railway incline in the world, takes riders down a sharp descent through a tunnel and the beautiful fern-damp cliff face. The Scenic Cableway, the steepest aerial cable car in Australia, offers a 545m ride into the World Heritage Area rainforest of the famous Jamison valley.
