About 100 kilometers west of Sydney lies the Blue Mountains National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The mountains are said to get their name from the vast eucalyptus forests - the oil droplets released from eucalyptus leaves create a blue haze when light refracts through them. Whether shrouded in mist or bathed in sunlight, the mountains are always veiled in a subtle blue hue, creating a uniquely beautiful and mysterious landscape. However, on rainy, foggy days, only the "mysterious" part remains.
