About Blue Mountains
A sandstone plateau west of Sydney, the Blue Mountains are carved into deep eucalyptus gorges, sheer cliffs and the rock towers of the Three Sisters.
The plateau rises behind Sydney in the Great Dividing Range, its edges broken into cliffs that fall away into forested valleys such as the Jamison and the Grose. Katoomba is the main town, and Echo Point looks across to the Three Sisters, a trio of sandstone pillars. The blue haze that gives the range its name is put down to a fine mist of eucalyptus oil in the air, and the surrounding region lies within a World Heritage area.
