I feel that this is the only time of year that the British weather and Sydney weather is virtually the same. A small, annual window of opportunity to share something with our Antipodean friends without even ...  Read the complete review

I take a day out of the city, to join a tour of the Blue Mountains along with several English tourists and a Scottish guide (who incidently hates Scotland!). The 'Mountains' lie 70 miles outside Sydney near a town called Lithgow and are named so because of the blue tint that rises from their peaks on the release of eucalyptus oil from ...  Read the complete review

While on my trip to Australia in January 2004, my friend and I spent a few days in Sydney. This was my third trip there and I?d always wanted to visit the Blue Mountains. The first time I went, in 1995, my whole week?s stay in Sydney was marred by bad weather, so we didn?t go. Last year there ...  Read the complete review

There is no doubt that the Blue Mountains are really blue. I have photos to prove it! The scenery was spectacular and quite different to what I expected of Australia (dry arid land covered in red dust.) In fact, I got the complete opposite - much greenery and and an abundance of waterfalls. I had booked the one day tour as part of ...  Read the complete review

It was tipping it down with rain when we arrived in the Blue Mountains - locals told us that the weather here can be changeable, and so you should be aware that fog or rain may be a problem.
