While you may need to jostle for space among other tourists at many of the Blue Mountains National Park’s lookouts, Pulpit Rock Lookout is not one of those places. The multi-tiered lookout perched on a blade of rock will test your tolerance for heights, but it offers almost 360-degree views across the forest-covered Grose Valley and Govetts Leap.
One of Australia’s most beautiful gardens, this private 5-acre (2-hectare) respite in the Blue Mountains National Park offers a secluded world of cool-climate plants and flowers. Follow the walkways around the dewy lawns, relax by the cascading ponds, and admire the parterre and other artistic features.
