Blue Mountains
Blue Mountains National Park is a World Heritage area and is one of the best and most popular National Parks in Australia. The views are breathtaking and there are many trekking trails and look out points to choose from.
There are three distinctive rocks and these are called The Three Sisters - a rock formation believed to be three sisters turned into stone after they fell in love with three men from a neighbouring tribe. According to Aboriginal legend, when they were forbidden to marry the men a battle broke out, the elder turned them into the rocks to protect them.
If you are not feeling energetic you could take the cable car or the train to get around the Blue Mountains. It is full of wildlife so keep an eye out so all types of animals from birds to lizards. It is just two hours from Sydney and definitely worth the day trip. The two main towns are called Katoomba & Leura and you can also stay at one of the many hotels the area has to offer or if you are feeling adventurous you could always camp. You can get there by either car or train.
Sydney & Whitsundays
I had 3 weeks hoilday, and wanted to see my brother and family in Australia. My brother lives in Bondi, so thought it best to stay in this area.
I stayed at the Swiss Grand Bondi hotel on Bondi Beach which was fabulous. Lovely spacious rooms with small separate room off bedroom and great rooftop swimming pool and spa. Bondi beach has great beach/walks/restaurants/bars/shops and is only 20mins from city centre, so we had best of both words. Were able to go to city centre to do harbour cruise, city tour and wander around the city & harbour area taking it all in.
After Sydney we flew to Hamilton Island and spent a few days at the Reef View Hotel. Hamilton is great with loads to do, nice restaurants, good sailing trips. Highlight was sailing trip to Whitehaven beach, stunning.
