Another essential natural gift for the greater Sydney region in New South Wales is the Blue Mountains - a range that is comprised of a kaleidoscope of contrasts and colour rich in Aussie bush and wildlife that is always accompanied by a blue-haze horizon. A trip to the Blue Mountains from Sydney will give you a true escape from the negatives of city life and the rush-rush of urban atmospheres while providing a chance to experience a great combination of spectacular scenery, wildlife, plants and the clean freshness of mountain air. A great getaway destination for honeymoons as well as a cool refuge from the heat of Sydney's summers, there is plenty to see and do in the region along with many small towns, each of which offer various attractions.
