Things to do in Blue Mountains, New South Wales: The Best Nature & Wildlife Areas

October 2, 2021 Myesha Cogley

The Blue Mountains are named for the delicate azure haze that lingers along the region, which is actually a fine cloud of oil emitted by eucalyptus trees. The mystical mountains are a labyrinth of plateaus, gorges and gum trees. Check out the Katoomba Scenic Railway (the steepest railway in the world), the Jenolan Caves and the Giant Staircase nature walk.

Logan Brae Orchard

100 Years at Logan Brae Orchards Occupying the same land since its establishment 100 years ago, Logan Brae Orchards is a family run orchard on the Shipley Plateau, located 5 minutes from the Blue Mountains town of Blackheath. The orchard was planted in 1919 when the plateau was mostly an orcharding community. At it’s fruit-bearing peak in the early 20th century it was home to thirteen orchards. Today Logan Brae is the plateau’s only remaining orchard and is a sweet reminder of how our fruit used to be grown. Every weekend during apple season, March through July, you can visit Logan Brae to buy apples, juice and a variety of other produce. Or you can sit on the lawn and enjoy the spectacular views of the Blue Mountains escarpments while eating a homemade hot apple pie.

I always try to visit when I am in the area, the apples are always fresh, the apple pies are incredible and the 100% apple juice smells and tastes just like apples so you know nothing is artificial.

Short walk from car park (complete with ice-cream van!). Beautiful cascades and pool. Try to go early (or mate) - missing out on ice cream will be worth it just to miss the crowds. Also good stopping off point on Scenic to Echo Point walk.

Marrangaroo National Park

Reviewed By 4WheelingInNSW

Bloody awesome spot !!! Some of the most picturesque countryside and some fantastic tracks from mild to needing a change of underwear wild !!! Top spot to camp and if you enjoy a water crossing, this place has plenty including one great one that continues upstream some 60 metres or so, this one is so long you forget your driving a car and start thinking you're in a boat LOL. Top spot and one we've driven many times including taking friends out there who found it equally as stunning. For all those wanitng to visit the area, just remember - whatever you take in, you take back out !! NO leaving your rubbish behind PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE
