Day 4: Katoomba Clifftop and Federal Pass



This was walk was the most 'touristy" of all the walks but still well worth doing.

Day 3: National Pass




This walk at Wentworth Falls is one of the most popular walks in the Blue Mountains, and we weren't disappointed - the photos just don't do it justice.

Day 2: Lockleys Pylon





This was our favourite walk as it was mainly out in the open with spectacular views all around. As getting to the start of the walk involves driving 8kms on gravel road, it is also much quieter than other walks. We had a glorious lunch spot perched on the cliff edge, overlooking a waterfall.

Grand Canyon (the Blue Mountains one)




We have just spent 5 glorious days in the Blue Mountains, bushwalking our little hearts out. It is so gorgeous there...once you get away from the horrid "scenic world" tourist trap.

Day 1: Walk from Govetts Leap to Evans Lookout (return) & Grand Canyon (circuit)

Mt Cordeaux


On Sunday, a group of us went for a lovely walk to the top of Mt Cordeaux at Cunninghams Gap. It is only about 75 mins to the top, and then you can walk on further to Bare Rock if still feeling energetic. The highlight for me is always the spectacular spear lilies on the way to Bare Rock.

Koala Cuteness


Yesterday we visited Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. The babies were sooo cute! But it is so very sad that due to rampant and insensitive development, they have hardly any natural habitat left in SE Qld and are endangered.
