Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains, part of the Great Dividing Range, were initially an impenetrable barrier to white expansion from Sydney and after 25 years of struggle saw a successful crossing made by the Europeans. Just an hour and half drive from the glittering city of Sydney, Blue Mountains is the favored escape route for most of the people in the continent. Australia's most accessible wilderness, the region is a declared World Heritage Site with loads of people thronging the place all the year round. The Blue haze, which gave the Blue Mountains their name, is a result of the ultrafine oily mist given off by eucalyptus.
