Add to Cart Download
The Blue Mountains got its name from a natural process in which eucalyptus oil vapour refracts sunlight and creates an ethereal blue atmosphere. This large sandstone plateau, rising 1300 meters above sea level, is home to some of the world’s rarest plant and animal species. The rugged, high-altitude region was once considered impassable until explorers Blaxland, Wentworth, and Lawson crossed it in 1813, earning a place in Australian folklore.
