The Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia (the upper section, see also Lower Blue Mountains which starts at Paramatta), are found approximately 48 kilometres west of Sydney.[1] They are a range of sandstone geological structures that reach to at least 1,190 metres AHD (in the Lithgow area). The Blue Mountains are not, as the name suggests, a range of mountains but rather a plateau with rugged eroded gorges of up to 760 metres depth. A large part of the Blue Mountains is incorporated in the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site and its constituent seven national parks and a conservation reserve. It features the Three Sisters, one of the Blue Mountains' best-known attractions.
In the UNESCO world heritage site list since 2000
