There is a good reason why Blue Mountains is an adored, central location for film and television.  Think Mad Max, The Great Gatsby, and Tomorrow, When the War Began! More recently, the ABC drama Wakefield highlights the region's natural beauty.

The Blue Mountains is home to some of the world's most picturesque views, sandstone tablelands and impressive waterfalls. While wandering the region's streets, you’re enticed by its village vibes and boutique shopping. When sightseeing from above, there is a captivating, eerie glow.

You must not forget to add the Blue Mountains to your itinerary when travelling through New South Wales in a motorhome. It’s 50ks from Sydney CBD, but it might feel like you’re in another country entirely.

We recommend at least a few nights here to best take in the picturesque surroundings and explore as much you can.  Below are some of our favourite to-dos:

 THINGS YOU MUST SEE & DO WHILE IN THE BLUE MOUNTAINS

See the Three Sisters

Take a small trek through the Blue Mountains National Park for a family-friendly walk - this will get you nice and close to the iconic natural wonder.

If able, the Giant Stairway is a unique and beautiful way to get there! It is a little more challenging with 988 stairs but worth every moment due to its iconic views along the way!

The Katoomba Falls Round Walk

While the Three Sisters may be the most prevalent sight in the area, there are other unmissable stops - this circuit is a fantastic way to find them! During this moderate 2k walk, look out for:

Juliets Balcony – here you will get incredible panoramic views.

Katoomba Waterfall – an unmissable natural wonder!

Witches Leap – challenge yourself to find the face between the rocks.

Visit Lincoln's Rock

Explore Jenolan Caves

These caves are technically just outside the Blue Mountains region, but they claim it as their own due to the proximity!  Beautiful historical sites surround the Jenolan caves but take a cave tour if you can! The 340-million year-old cave should be seen to be believed - it's an outstanding & educational experience.
