Blue Mountains, Australia



I'm up horribly early for my day trip to the Blue Mountains and horrified to discover that Adventure Tours who I'm going with are part of the same company as Oz Experience who I've been advised not to travel with (it's apparently full of drunk nympho gappers - and I like my sleep these days).

The Blue Mountains are a couple of hours outside Sydney although you feel you're along way away from the city.

The blue haze which gives the mountains their name is a result of the ultrafine mist given off by the eucalyptus trees. This seen from a distance makes the ranges look blue.
