Photos:The Best of The Blue Mountains

If you haven’t been to the beautiful Blue Mountains in Western Sydney, NSW then you are missing out. Especially if you live within driving distance of the amazing mountains.

Named after the blue haze that surrounds the mountains due to the many eucalyptus trees there that emit a blue cast, the Blue Mountains are a must visit.

After living and working in Sydney my whole life I only recently headed out the explore the region which is only a two hour drive from the CBD.

I always thought it was too far and what would be out there anyway. I was so wrong and I can admit it now that I should have started to explore and photograph this amazing place years ago. It’s definitely one of my regrets not getting out there sooner, but I’m glad I have started my mission to photograph the major and not so major sites.

Unfortunately due to Covid and all of the lock downs we have had over the last couple of years, it has slowed down my weekend adventures. But hopefully in time we will be able to get back to doing the things we love yet again. My personal favorite is exploring awesome places like the Blue Mountains and I’ll be back as soon as possible.

But in the meantime here are a few of my favorite places to photograph in the Blue Mountains, looking forward to trekking there again to see the rest of the region.
