The morning light in the Blue Mountains arrives like a slow exhale: mist retracts from the Jamison Valley, eucalyptus oils snap in the air, and the Three Sisters—three weathered sandstone fingers—stand cool and deliberate against the sky.

Adventure Tips
Book early-morning pickup
Morning departures give you softer light at Echo Point and smaller crowds at Scenic World—ask for the earliest convenient slot.
Layer up for temperature swings
The plateau is noticeably cooler than Sydney; bring a lightweight windbreaker and midlayer for winds on clifftops.
Bring sturdy footwear
Short clifftop walks and uneven viewing platforms require grippy, supportive shoes—avoid open sandals.
Confirm Scenic World admissions
Scenic World rides may be optional or included—decide in advance to streamline your day and avoid ticket queues.
