You step out of the coach and the air changes—cooler, eucalyptus-scented, as if the valley itself exhales. The first stop at Featherdale Wildlife Park is brisk and intimate: koalas blink in the dappled light, kangaroos eye you with casual curiosity, and a lyrebird rustles through leaf litter as if rehearsing its next mimicry. By mid-morning the road climbs into the Blue Mountains; sandstone cliffs begin to carve the horizon into clean, ochre lines and the Jamison Valley spreads below like a living map.
