Blue Mountains

Massive tracts of never-ending bushland. Towering escarpments, fabulous vistas, and the famous blue sheen that wafts above the eucalypts. This is the Blue Mountains, a vast World Heritage area that fringes Australia's largest city just 90 minutes to the west of Sydney.

The Blue Mountains is one of Australia's most popular tourist areas, but a day in the Mountains with Boutique Bespoke Tours gets you away from the crowds to discover the mountains as they should be seen - from secluded lookouts, quite valleys, and short bushwalks that take you into the temperate rainforest and idyllic bushlands.

For us, this is also the perfect opportunity to learn more about Australia's indigenous culture. At the base of the Blue Mountains we find Muru Mittigar Cultural Centre, an award-winning learning centre that lets you interact directly with aboriginal Australians to learn more about their culture, beliefs and history. Talk to indigenous Australians, handle the tools and implements, learn about bushtucker - even learn how to throw a boomerang so it really does return!
