3 Best Day Trips from Sydney | Condé Nast Traveler

"Blue Mountains National Park is one of Sydney's best known scapes, and for good reason: the refuge promises epic escarpments and bush walks west of town. Founded in 1959, it sprawls over 156,000 acres and is part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, popular with locals and international visitors. Tracks are fairly well signposted, but you'll want to check difficulty levels on the website first (and keep a watch for any alerts, which the Park also posts there). To experience nature's charms without breaking too much of a sweat, board Scenic World’s Skyway or Cableway for a smooth ride above the hills." - Sophie Davies
