DESCRIPTION: The Blue Mountains are known for their contrasts between plateau, cliff and valley landscapes and the famous blue haze, which is a vapour, produced by numerous eucalypt trees. The best way to appreciate the evolution of the 18 million year old mountain range is from the air.
Your tour begins by taking in some iconic sites of Sydney, flying over the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and the impressive Sydney city skyline before following the Parramatta River up to Olympic Park and continuing west over the Warragamba Dam, the Megalong Valley and Jamieson Valley... the journey into the mountains is just as spectacular as the Blue Mountains National Park itself.
Only from the air can the awesome expanse of this truly magnificent part of Australia be put into perspective. The passing scenes below of tumbling waterfalls, unforgiving sandstone cliff faces and never ending stretches of forest are bound to exceed even the highest expectations.
