Welcome to the World Heritage Blue Mountains Experience
During December, January and February, escape the heat and humidity for the fresh air and cooler climes of the Blue Mountains, Lithgow and Oberon.
Summer is the perfect time for outdoor activities and for exploring the lush forests, waterfalls, waterholes, valleys and canyons of the region, either on foot, horse, bike or 4WD or book an experience with one of our professional adventure operators and you can abseil down cascading waterfalls, swim through hidden limestone caves or even lay flat out on a li-lo and drift through a canyon.
If Summer time means a simpler, fun way of life to you - when the living is easy -then you must visit in February when The Roaring 20s...and all that Jazz! Festival, now in its second year, steps out with a month long programme of events all paying tribute to the 1920s era when the region was revelling in a halcyon time.
The fun includes vintage fashion parades, period costume walks, adventure experiences, high teas costume balls, steam and vintage vehicle displays at the Highlands Steam and Vintage Fair, jazz performances and we will be asking everyone... Won't you Charleston with us?
On Saturday 4 February, come to Leura Mall and join us as we attempt to set a world record for the largest number of costumed Charleston dancers stepping it out together.
We invite everyone - individuals, groups of friends, families, dance groups, social clubs, school groups and service clubs - to frock up and join us setting the world record. For registration and more information click here
Add to this the unveiling of the inaugural Sculpture at Scenic World, Oberon Show, A Day out with Thomas at the Zig Zag Railway, Leura Shakespeare Festival, Lithgow Flash Gift and there's plenty of things to do throughout the summer season.
Congratulations to all finalists and winners in the Awards of Excellence 2011. We had a record number of entries and increased the number of finalists progressing to the NSW Tourism Awards.
Thank you also to all of our generous sponsors including Wolgan Valley Resort & Spa.
