Blue Mountains I

Did an Eco Tour into the Blue Mountains. On our way we drove through the Olympic Village.








The Blue Mountains is a mountainous region in New South Wales, Australia, which borders Sydney's metropolitan area, beginning approximately 50 kilometres west of the city's centre.[1] The area is generally considered to begin on the west side of the Nepean River and to extend westward as far as Coxs River.[2] Consisting of a sandstone plateau, the area is dissected by gorges of up to 760 metres in depth, and has high points up to 1,190 metres above sea level. A large part of the Blue Mountains is incorporated in the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site and its constituent seven national parks and a conservation reserve.
