Sublime Point Lookout

Reviewed By Dani2111

This walk is an easy walk and it brings you out to a gorgeous view. It is pathed some of the way and then it is a little slippery on some of the rocks down the actual lookout.
You can see The Three Sisters from here and There is also a picnic area half way down.

We did the Juggler Canyon with High 'n Wild. On the day there were three on us joining the tour with one guide (Dave).
The tour itself was split into two parts; the first a set of abseils, with stunning views, to train the group (starting with a gentle 5m abseil leading up to 30m). Dave was patient and happy for us to take our time and for us to repeat any abseils we didn't feel comfortable with.
After lunch we went on to the main event where we did a series of four abseils through Juggler canyon, gradually working our way down the canyon, which was equally as stunning.
Overall a great day - thank you!

The National Pass

Reviewed By tassietourer - Melbourne Australia

This walk has been on our bucket list for a while now and did not disappoint. The first part of the walk to Wentworth Falls is reasonably easy. From here it's all downhill,literally, steep stairs and you really need to use the handrails and wire rope to get down. The views from here are spectacular and well worth the effort. Upon reaching the base of the Falls you enter a rain forest environment. The base of valley is undulating and grand vista's in every direction. The trek up and out of the valley via Empress Falls is also very challenging and plenty of stone steps and metal stairs to conquer. It took us just on four hours to complete the walk and very satisfied at the end of the day.

Wentworth Falls Lake

Reviewed By KeithH4 - Bathurst, Australia

We visited here with extended family, including several grandchildren, and enjoyed a picnic lunch in the shelter near the barbecues, which, by the way, were spotlessly clean. A lovely spot overlooking the lake, and large enough not to feel too crowded. The kids really enjoyed the playground as well. Recommended.

Blue Mountains

Reviewed By Sebastián B - Santiago Chile

Beautiful place, nature all around you. You can take 3 different transportation up and down (cable car, train). You can spend easily half a day enjoying nature. Very well done! We got a foggy day, so we couldn’t really appreciate the place in its potential.

Leura Cascades

Reviewed By Simon F - Rugby, United Kingdom

Nice area to visit and pass a couple of hours meandering along the paths. Very relaxing with some great views. Paths are a little steep in places and there are two wonderful Waterfalls. Paths can be a little heavy just after the rain as they tend to keep it for sometime.

Everglades Historic House and Gardens

Reviewed By inverellsydney - Sydney, Australia

Came here on a nice sunny summer. $13 per person, cheaper for seniors. The grounds are well maintained, lovely Gardens and bush setting overlooking Jamison Valley. However, it's not a massive property. Easily walked through and seen everything in an hour. The house is interesting, but not overwhelmingly awesome ir stunning as some review.
The money goes back toward the property, so I wouldn't call it a waste, however....you will see similar Gardens and landscape in the suburb. Could walk the area and get great photos for no cost. Then you can see bush setting and uninterrupted views of the valley at nearby Gordon's Lookout, again at no cost. I want to give an honest review, so all can make a better choice and not leave feeling disappointed. I feel the cost should be more like $8 for what you see. More people may then be inclined to spend more at the cafe located in the house.

Beautiful panoramic views of the jamerson valley n the three sisters. Stunning . Stop n look at the outstanding views with the blue haze of the evaporating eucalyptus. There are a variety of great walks all around, even one to a bridge connected to the first sister.

The Three Sisters

Reviewed By Jakeal82 - Scotland

Worth the drive. I know on a hot day you don’t want to be stuck in a car in traffic etc. But if you don’t take the time to see the blue Mountains then you are really missing something.
There are lots of lookout places, plenty parking, Amazing views.
I would have liked a better choice of eating, drinking places and perhaps a gelato or ice cream shop but we got fed and watered.
I would definitely compare this to the Grand Canyon. But this is much older.....apparently.
