Autumn is in full swing, and there’s no better time to come and visit.

The Blue Mountains are open for your enjoyment.


Getting here is as easy as ever, with straightforward access via the Great Western Highway or Bells Line of Road, and smooth travel via the Chifley Road detour. Settle in for a long lunch, check out the vineyards, explore the villages, and discover cafés, galleries and local favourites from Mount Victoria to Blaxland, where the autumn colours are just starting to shine. Sorry, Mount Wilson is closed. Hartley Valley trip.
