Details

Open leg route
262.1KM / 162.8MI (Est. travel time 4 hours)

Head to the Blue Mountains with your mates to tick off these off-the-beaten-track locales.

The scene-stealing views in the Blue Mountains are postcard-worthy – and they’re also the backdrop for a bunch of innovative creatives, who’ve established galleries, eateries, bars and breweries. Grab a group of friends, follow the locals and spend 24 hours discovering some of the region’s most unexpected attractions. The best part? The entire itinerary can be done as a day trip from Sydney.
