Blue Mountains

Starting just 53 kilometres from Sydney a trip to the Blue Mountains makes an ideal day trip out of the city and during the summer is always cooler. The Blue Mountains get their name from the perpetual blue haze that covers them. Tiny drops of eucalyptus evaporate from the thick forest covering the mountains and, as the sun shines through it, it gives off a blue hue.
