We booked a day trip to Blue Mountains National Park. Our driver-guide Peter picked us up early from our hotel and entertained us with Australian jokes throughout the journey. The park is quite vast with pristine ancient forests. Walking along the wooden boardwalks into the wilderness feels like stepping into a scene from The Lord of the Rings - definitely worth visiting.
