Top 10 Free Things To Do and Attractions in Blue Mountains

"One of the most famous landmarks in the Blue Mountains is the Three Sisters, an unusual rock formation towering high above the Jamison Valley. Standing over 900 metres tall, the Three Sisters is a spectacular sight and offers some beautiful and intense walking tracks. There is one trail ‘The Giant Stairway’ that takes you up close to the Three Sisters mountains and then down to the valley floor via more than 800 steps."

"The most popular lookout point for tourists is the Echo Point Lookout from where you can enjoy the best views of the famous Three Sisters. While this lookout is definitely awesome, there are many more beautiful lookout points in the Blue Mountains without the big crowds. Echo Point looks out over Jamison Valley, densely populated with eucalyptus trees and surrounded by massive sandstone cliffs."

"Overlooking the gigantic Megalong Valley, Cahills’s Lookout is one of the most impressive lookouts in the Blue Mountains, but without the big tourist crowds. Quietly tucked away along the westernmost point of Cliff Drive, the lookout offers breathtaking views of the valley, Megalong Head, Boars Head Rock and the Narrow Neck Peninsula. Unlike other popular lookouts in the area, such as Echo Point and Lincoln’s Rock that overlook the Jamison Valley, Cahills’s Lookout faces the Megalong Valley."

"Featuring soaring columns, lofty gilded ceilings and delightful stained glass, the Grand Dining Room is one of the last Victorian dining rooms still operating as a dining room in Australia. The Grand Dining Room that you marvel at today is almost identical to the orginal built in 1886 but with a few modern additions for comfort and convenience including air conditioning."

"The Grand Dining Room at the Heritage Listed Carrington Hotel in Katoomba, harks back to a different era when dining was dining and not just eating out."

"Opened in June 1912 as a branch of the City Bank of Sydney, the building remained a bank until the 1930's when it became the Carrington Saloon Bar. Renovated and re-opened in the 1990's along with the main hotel, The Old City Bank Bar and Brasserie has become a local favourite offering consistently good quality, innovative pub food. In 2010 it was inducted into the Australian Hotel's Hall of Fame."
