Blue Mountains National Park

The areas of the park around Wentworth Falls and Katoomba introduce you to the landscapes south of the road and railway line, in the Jamison Valley. Further up into the mountains at Blackheath, you have a chance to explore the Grose Valley to the north.

Govetts Leap is one of the main attractions here, a mesmerising waterfall which plummets about 180m to the broken rocks in the valley below.

This park, which is part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, protects an unusually diverse range of vegetation communities. There are rare and ancient plants and isolated animal populations tucked away in its deep gorges. This is a vast and special place.
