How to get there

BY CAR - travel by car is the most popular means of transport to the Blue Mountains. The entrance to the Blue Mountains at Glenbrook/Lapstone is only around 50 minutes drive from Sydney.

This drive is extremely pleasant through the vast Blue Mountains National Park, a contrast to the main thoroughfare of the Great Western Highway.

FROM OUTER WEST - If you are travelling from the outer west, follow the signs to Lithgow, then through to Hartley where you will enter the Blue Mountains via Victoria Pass taking you straight to the top at Mount Victoria.

BY TRAIN – It is a 2 hour train ride, sit back, relax and take in the sites. Train services run almost hourly from Central Station to Wentworth Falls, Leura., Katoomba, Medlow Bath, Blackheath, Mount Victoria, Bell, Zig Zag and Lithgow. ExplorerLink tickets available combining return CityRail travel and the 'get on, get off' Explorer Bus. Visit the City Rail info for timetables http://www.cityrail.info/
