The bus rounds a bend and the valley exhales: eucalypt-scented air, a sweep of blue ridgelines, and sandstone cliffs that deepen as the sun inclines. This late-start small-group tour times the run of light so the Three Sisters glow at golden hour and the bush hums with evening bird calls. The group moves from a working farm—where tame wallabies and a private koala encounter bring wildlife close—to narrow tracks that thread into the Grose and Megalong valleys.
