What a beautiful place is this. About 2 hours train journey from Sydney and you reach one of the most beautiful places in the world. The way the local government has been managing the transportation system is exceptional. They have covered almost all the tourist places and the frequency of the bus is also very good. Although if you wish to visit too interior areas, you might meed your own transport but if you’re on a day trip, using public transport would be more than enough. Thanks for a great day guys. Cheers

Walk down the bottom of the stairs and there is a excellent spot for taking photos. NEVER GO OVER THE BARRIERS TO TAKE A PHOTO. Its slippery and dangerous and people have been hurt doing it. Waterfalls are better viewed after rain,sometimes the waterfalls will not be running, ie in hot weather a month ago-What a beautiful place is this.

The mountain view is really nice. There are things to do and see for a day here. Lot of parking lot in that area. Better to book online before you go there.

Very beautiful place and awesome landscape. There is a nice designed trail for those who like walking. Beautiful birds are everywhere and you can enjoy them singing!

Another vast and beautiful landscape Sydney has to offer! just so serene with mother nature. Another awesome tour guide Les, very informative on the history of the areas we saw, Les only likes hot chocolate or tea but he loves his tim tams. Les will get out of the bus and participate physically and showing you and your group around. Some of the landscapes he showed us were breathtaking, another great tour, thank you very much Les.
