GO BEYOND THE FAMILIAR
Beyond the famous lookouts, a different side of the Blue Mountains is waiting.
A heritage cinema where tea is served in fine china. Hidden waterfalls and mist-filled valleys. Long lunches, historic pubs, bookshops and village streets worth lingering in. In the upper Blue Mountains villages of Mount Victoria and Blackheath, the familiar is just the beginning.
Still easy to reach by train, the Great Western Highway and Bells Line of Road.

MOUNT VICTORIA
Historic and unexpected.
At the highest point of the Blue Mountains, Mount Victoria is the kind of place that rewards curiosity. Heritage streets and grand old guesthouses tell stories of the past, while hidden walking tracks lead to waterfalls you can swim under and sandstone caves that tower above you. As evening falls, the pace shifts from walking tracks and lookouts to long dinners and crackling fireplaces.
Warm up in heritage stays and historic pubs.
Hunt for hidden walks and waterfalls.
Uncover arts, antiques and old-world charm
β MOUNT VICTORIA STORIES
BLACKHEATH
Every season, a new experience.
Nowhere wears the seasons quite like Blackheath and Megalong Valley. Spring fills the gardens with colour. Autumn paints the village in shades of gold. Winter is for misty mornings, with cloud drifting across the escarpment and settling in the valleys below. No matter the season, the day ends the same way: good food, local wine and always a reason to linger a little longer.
