The Blue Mountains National Park was one of the first national park areas set aside for the public in the whole of Australia. The area is around 90kms west of Sydney, divided by the Great Dividing Range.
This range was considered to be virtually impenetrable by the early explorers, but by using Aboriginal trackers, early settlers managed to penetrate this rugged terrain.
