The easiest way to get to the Blue Mountains is by catching a train there. Trains regularly depart from Sydney Central Station, allowing you to stay flexible with your schedule while exploring the park. You'll also find several of our Blue Mountains day tours offer return transportation services from and to Sydney for your convenience.

Yes! The mountains are actually a bit of a koala paradise thanks to their large ratio of eucalyptus trees, which are the only food choice for these cute little marsupials. In fact, the Blue Mountains have so many eucalyptus trees that that's actually how they got their name in the first place! When the eucalyptus oil fills the atmosphere and interacts with the other elements in the air, it creates mystifying rays of blue light that coat the mountains.

If you're travelling by car or on a tour bus, the Blue Mountains are located just a short one-hour drive from Sydney. If you choose to catch the train, it will take you around two hours to get there from Sydney Central Station.
