The Blue Mountains is a magical place. I initially didn't plan to visit because it's far, but it turned out to be an amazing surprise - absolutely worth it!

When you reach the viewing platform, you see the mountains rolling like waves, with blue mist in the distance and cloud shadows cast across the landscape.
