Itinerary

With an early start escape the city before the morning traffic and make it to desired destination ahead of big crowds. Cross the Anzac Bridge, pass the site of the Olympic Park and continue via western suburbs to the lush hinterland of Sydney.

Feather Wildlife Park / Sydney Zoo

Find yourself on an amazing animal adventure as you encounter some of the most loved and feared animals that call Australia home. Wander the leafy bush setting and get up close with wombats, tassie devils, dingoes, reptiles and many bird species. Step into koala enclosure and don’t miss the opportunity to hand feed kangaroos and wallabies.

Wentworth Falls

Stay at the picnic area or choose short but steep walk to Princess Rock lookout to marvel at the waterfall as it plunges 187 metres to the valley floor. Continue with under cliff hike via Fletchers lookout to Wentworth Falls where Jamison Creek cascades into a shallow pool to one side and the magnificent Jamison Valley opens out on the other.

Lunch at Leura

Explore the delightful charms of the boutique garden village. Relish scrumptious savoury pie at the renowned Bakehouse or pick one of many rustic restaurants and caffes for a freshly cooked meal (lunch at own expense).

Three Sisters and Hidden gems

No visit to the Blue Mountains would be complete without a stop for the best views of the famous Three Sisters. Hear legend of the rock formation and initiate into the aboriginal culture and their connection to ancestors’ land. Visit Cahill Lookout for breathtaking views of Jamison and Megalong valleys separated by Narrow Neck and stop at Lincoln Rock for final stunning picture of the national park.
