What to do and see in Blue Mountains, New South Wales: The Best Things to do Good for Couples
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.

1. The National Pass

We walked as a family of 2 adults and our kids age 16 and 14, setting off from the Wentworth Falls picnic area and completing the circular trail in a clockwise direction. The walk is challenging in places, so there is a level of fitness required in order to enjoy. 'Slack Stairs' wasn't as bad as it was made out to be I felt. The infrastructure was secure, though some of the paths along the bottom were a bit rough. We walked at a steady pace and thoroughly enjoyed the walk which took us 3 hours.
2. Dryridge Estate

We loved our visit to Dryridge - it was a highlight of our weekend in Blackheath. We were made to feel so welcome, even though the cellar door was super busy, Emma made a great effort to talk to all the guests. The wine is top notch (tastings are free!) the views are sensational and the wine dogs, Gus and George are just adorable! The wine was so good it was impossible to leave empty handed. Too bad we didn't have room for the cheese boards - they looked sensational. Well worth the drive up!

5. Grand Canyon track
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By MrButterfly2014 - Shrewsbury, United Kingdom
The Grand Canyon Loop is just over 6km long, This Grand Canyon Walk was a true bushwalking adventure, with wonderful views, vibrant rainforest, waterfalls, creek crossings, impressive sandstone walls and massive rock overhangs. Whilst it had some very steep sections both climbing down into the ravine and later climbing out, the track itself was very well maintained and had countless stunning views along the way. However the last forty minutes or so climb up the canyon wall to the top edge was very tough going but finally we got to Evans lookout which did not disappoint, wiith breathtaking views across the immense Grose Valley. After a further 30 minutes, we reached our cars for a well earned sit down. Well worth a visit..

Grab a few drinks and some snacks, take a blanket, and arrive about half an hour before sunset to score a spot overlooking Boar's Head and Narrow Neck Plateau. It's really magical to see the cliffs lit up in the fiery red of the sunset. Perfect way to say farewell to the sun.

There are loads of lookout points around this area. This one is easily accessible, and doesn’t have hoards of tourists competing for the view. And of course it offers a great view. You can walk along a trail in both directions from it to other lookout points.

Along the six foot track in the Megalong Valley there are a few vineyards with cellar doors. Megalong creek has great wines and an even better view of the Valley. Plan ahead and ring the day before to pre-order a cheese pack (cheese plates before COVID) to go with your tasting.

Reviewed By PeterLangston - Tamworth, Australia
A spacious viewing area on several levels, makes it impossible to miss any of the view of The Three Sisters, one of Australia's iconic rosck formations. No less impressive is the Jamison Valley which is opened by the view. Toilet and cafe facilities are good at the venue and a shuttle bus willl bring you to the spot from Kattomba Railway Station and several other points of interest around Katoomba.
