    "Located on the cusp of the magnificent Blue Mountains, the Fairmont Resort offers a relaxing escape for anyone. The resort is situated amongst a sea of greenery and water, by the beautiful Jamison Valley, elegant gardens and lakes and the historic Leura Golf Course.

    The 210 rooms take maximum advantage of the dramatic Blue Mountains scenery with views out onto the bush or gardens. The fresh high altitude air and stunning views will put you in the mood for some mountain activity and the extensive list of things to do on site could keep you entertained for days. You'll find everything from mountain biking to golf, swimming to bushwalking, tennis to spa and hydro facilities. " see...http://www.peppers.com.au/site.asp?siteid=9

    Blue Mountains. Vast natural area a few hours west of Sydney. Looking out to the vast expanse of seemingly untouched forests was just amazing. Possible to do a day trip, or better yet, stay for a few days and hike around. I unfortunately only had time for a day trip.

    We went there but the weather soured on us. So we didn't get see all there was to see. Our friends made it there a few days before and loved it. check out the railway and skyway. (It is colder there than it is Sydney..keep that in mind. LOL we didn't)

    Blue Mountains: Take a hike! Really!

    Depending on how adventurous you may be, or how you carry the weight of yours around, you may want to consider taking hikes in the Blue Mountains. No nothing too wayward, nothing too over the top dangerous - you can do it in the vicinity of the touristy Katoomba-Leura area.

    If you have purchased a Blue Mountain Explorer Bus ticket, either tagging up with the Cityrail tickets in a discount package (for less than A$50, circa Jun 08) or on its own, there are opportunities for you to walk/hike between stops, allowing you wonderful chances to really experience the beauty of the Blue Mountains.

    On a recent visit, I undertook a hike from Leura Cascades (Stop 16) to Gordon Falls (Stop 17). The walk is advised as "Medium level" as a fair bit of hiking up stairs are required. Don't let it deter you. For the next 40 minutes, I was treated to fresh blasts of eucalyptus rich air and even richer sceneries.

    But alas, I never did made it to Gordon Falls as my colleague who came along could not cope with the strain and we had to abandon mid way (at Stop 19). However, making it to Leura Cascades and standing tall over the tumbling waters, is a reward by itself.

    Not far away from Katoomba, Blackheath is much quieter. It's a very good starting location to visit the Blue Mountains.

    Our trip to the Blue Mountains was quite fun and the view was amazing. The Three Sisters is a favorite and the story behind the name was interesting too. If you go, take the little lift car to the bottom and walk around!

    World's steepest railway
    at the Blue Mountains
    by 360dude
    The Blue Mountains actually cover a large area that you can easily spend several days exploring, but there are some great day trips available from Sydney. I would recommend a guided tour because they can show you all the highlights that you could easily miss. One of these highlights include a place where the wild kangaroos are so tame that you sit right next to them and they don't run (hop actually) away. Other highlights include a ride on the steepest railway in the world straight up the mountain, a trip in a cable car strung high across a large gorge area, huge waterfalls, stunning views and walks through the forest. One of the walks takes you to a lookout where you can see the famous three sisters.
