The Blue Mountains is highly recommended in all travel guides. It's quite far from Sydney by car. A taxi would cost around AUD 400-450, while a private car service is slightly cheaper at about AUD 300.

You can book tickets through travel websites like Mafengwo. I recommend choosing the 10-11 AM entry time. Tickets cost about AUD 30 for adults and AUD 20 for children, which includes access to the cable car, scenic skyway, and one railway ride. The total cost per person for a day trip comes to less than AUD 60 - quite a good deal!
