School Excursions to

Blue Mountains & Jenolan

The Blue Mountains is significant as a World Heritage Area, for its Aboriginal history and for its role in early colonial exploration and expansion.

Blue Mountains & Jenolan

Most of our tours heading west take advantage of some of the spectacular lookouts for a morning tea or lunch stop on the way through the Blue Mountains. However, we can also design a specific itinerary featuring the Blue Mountains area.
