After a ten year gap, I went to the Blue Mountains in New South Wales, Australia. We went there by car on 8-2-2025. We enjoyed a trip in Sky Rail (Cable Car) and the scenic train that travels downwards. We walked a long way to look at the mountains from different points.

Here are some tips for future visitors :

Blue Mountains National Park is a 270,000 hectare park located within the Greater Blue Mountains.

This is the most visited national park in New South Wales and it is spread across several different towns and areas in New South Wales, including Katoomba, Blackheath, Lower Grose Valley, Mount Wilson, and Glenbrook.

Blue Mountains

1.Echo Point Lookout

Echo Point & the Three Sisters

There are several vantage points from this one spot, so it takes about 15 minutes to enjoy the views and take photos.

2.Scenic World

The best place to start your visit is at Scenic World. At this one spot, you can ride the world’s steepest railway, stand on the roof of the Skyway, ride on the Southern Hemisphere’s steepest cable car, and walk on boardwalk trails through the rainforest.

Eagle Hawk Lookout, Landslide Lookout, and Cahill’s and Boars Head Lookouts are three viewpoints on Cliff Side Drive. These are all located near Scenic World and it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to visit all of them.

This is the best of the three viewpoints on Cliff Side Drive. It’s a short, easy walk to an overlook protected by a railing. From this spot, you get a view of the Three Sisters, the cableway of Scenic World, and sweeping views of the Blue Mountains. It’s just a 5-minute drive from Scenic World.

3.Wentworth Falls Loop

Wentworth Falls

Wentworth Falls is a three-tiered waterfall and getting a view of this waterfall is one of the best things to do in the Blue Mountains.

From the Jamison Lookout and Wentworth Falls Lookout, you get a decent view of the waterfall, but for the best experience, hike part or all of the Wentworth Falls Loop.

Important things to do includes ride by cable car, ride by train ans seeing three sisters from different lookout points.

Scenic railway is the steepest passenger train in the world.

Scenic sky way is the cable car trip at a height of 270 metres.

As soon as one enters scenic world, one can see  giant  moving and roaring dinosaur figures . 

Each of the ride requires two hours because of the  long queues. 

Those who have more time may walk along rain forests for three hours.
