New South Wales’ amazing Blue Mountains and Jenolan Caves are definitely one of the primary highlights for visitors to the Sydney region. Located only 50kms west of Sydney, the stunning Blue Mountains are a huge, mountainous range covered by Eucalypt forest and named for its seemingly blue haze when seen from a distance. The Jenolan Caves are located within the Blue Mountains and are Australia’s most admired underground limestone caves. As you set out from Sydney on your day tour, you will have a chance to admire the City sights – such as the Darling Harbour complex and the Monorail – before making your way towards the historic town of Parramatta. You will pass through Emu Plains, Blaxland, Wentworth Falls and Lawson, before arriving at Katoomba – one of the Blue Mountains’ primary tourist towns. At Katoomba, you will be in awe as you take in the phenomenal views over the Megalong and Jamison Valleys, and you will be amazed as you see how big the Three Sisters rock formations really are. Just like thousands of visitors before you, you may want to take a memorable picture of yourself and you companions, with the amazing three sisters as a stunning backdrop. While in Katoomba, you will have the option (own expense) to ride the Scenic Skyway, the Scenic Railway or the Scenic Cableway – these options will add an exciting thrill to your already terrific day and are highly recommended. After you enjoy a visit to some of the quaint little towns around the Blue Mountains, you will arrive at the incredible Jenolan Caves. Here, you will embark on a tour of the famous ‘Lucas Cave’ – the most popular Jenolan Cave tour. Lucas Cave opens you up to a world of magic and wonder as you make your way along the easy to traverse underground trail. You will see the highly photographed ‘Broken Column’, hear the amazing acoustics of ‘The Cathedral’ – a 54-metre high cavern, which is reputed to have the best acoustics of any performance space in the World! – and be mesmerised by the clear, pure underground river. The Jenolan Caves are truly a unique experience and will leave you with a feeling of awe and a ton of terrific memories. After your Jenolan Caves tour, you can admire the gorgeous aqua hue of the stunning Blue Lake – a manmade lake that is fed by the River Styx and Jenolan River. The amazing turquoise colour of the lake is caused by the refraction of the light on the limestone deposits within the water and bedrock. It truly is amazing. Above the Blue Lake is the majestic Grand Arch, which is a great spot for some scenic photos. You will have the option of buying a delicious bistro lunch at the Caves Guesthouse before returning to Sydney. Your return journey will take you through the Blue Mountains National Park, where you will see more stunning scenery. READ MORE...http://www.everythingaustralia.com
