After breakfast, proceed on your choice of blue mountain tour. Option 1 – Blue Mountains With Wildlife Park & 2 Course Lunch Highlights: Echo Point, Panoramic Vistas, The Three Sisters, Leura Village, Featherdale Wildlife Park and 2 course lunch at Leura. You’re off over the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge, the world’s largest steel arch bridge in the world. Head along the Bradfi eld Highway towards the Blue Mountains. Entering the National Park and winding your way along Cliff Drive, you’ll take in spectacular views of Megalong Valley before arriving at Echo point, perched on the edge of a 170 metre cliff face. Echo Point has views stretching across to the Three Sisters – a trio of rocky pinnacles. Later visit Waradah Aboriginal Centre, experience traditional dance, take part in an interactive didgeridoo performance, examine authentic artworks and take home genuine Aboriginal souvenirs. Learn about Australia’s living Aboriginal culture from the local Darug and Gundungurra tribes through informal cultural discussions and lectures. Next is a stop at the picturesque and quaint town of Leura. Stop and enjoy a delicious 2 course lunch in a picturesque setting in the delightful village of Leura. This beautiful town will take you back in time and is famous for its antique stores and of course its Candy Store which is stocked floor to ceiling with more than 1,000 unusual sweets gathered from all over the world. Post lunch, you’ll stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park, one of Australia’s largest private collections of Australian native animals and bird life. Situated on seven acres of natural bush setting, here you’ll be able to hand feed kangaroos, wallabies and emus or enjoy a face-to-face encounter with one of the friendly koalas. On your way back to Sydney, your route takes you via Sydney Olympic Park, the site of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. You’ll see the grand stadiums that are still used for more than 5,000 events each year. OR Option 2 - Blue Mountains Tour with Jenolan Caves Highlights: Katoomba, The Three Sisters, Jamison Valley, Jenolan Caves, Lucas or Imperial Cave and Blue Lake As you head toward the iconic Blue Mountains, you’ll drive through the tourist town of Katoomba, which first became known in 1879 when a coal mine was established here. On reaching at Echo Point you’ll be treated to a view that is spectacular. This mountainous World Heritage region covers an area of up to 10,000 square kilometres and features dramatic cliffs, deep canyons and lush vegetation, particularly eucalypt. When first discovered by the European visitors, the Blue Mountains had already been home to the Gundungurra people for what is believed to be millions of years and evidence of their culture and spirituality can be found throughout the region. Also from Echo Point you can see the imposing Three Sisters. Now you head to the Jenolan Caves via the stunning scenery of the Cliff Drive. On arrival you’ll meet your experienced Guide who will take you through the oldest known open cave system in the world. Known to the local Aboriginal people as ‘Binoomea’ (Dark Places), the Jenolan Cave system stretches over an enormous 40 kilometres of multi-level passages, many still undergoing explorations. There are nine caves open to visitors, all featuring amazing lighting, underground rivers and limestone formations. You’ll be captivated by Lucas Cave, the largest of the Jenolan Caves. Its chambers are simply incredible. The highest chamber, reaching 54 metres, is known as the Cathedral and, with its incredible acoustic capabilities, has provided the setting for many underground concerts. At certain times, Lucas Cave will be replaced with a visit to Imperial Cave. Before heading back to the city, you simply must take in the beauty of the Blue Lake. This gorgeous sight is the result of mineral laden water seeping through the limestone caves. When cast in sunlight, the lake takes on the most captivating vivid blue colour. Definitely a great photo opportunity! Overnight at Hotel in Sydney. (B)
