Travel to the Blue Mountains
Relax in our comfortable 14 seat Mercedes Tourer Vehicles
for the 1 hour drive west to the foothills of the Blue Mountains. Along the way your guide will explain your day, and tell you about the history and uniqueness of Australia, its wildlife and culture. There'll
also be time to enjoy a DVD on the onboard television, exploring the Blue Mountains.
Aboriginal Culture at Muru Mittigar
Our first stop brings us to Muru Mittigar Cultural Centre, where we'll explore aboriginal culture, food, medicine, art and tools. This is a great opportunity to gain an insight into the world's most ancient surviving culture. We'll also enjoy morning tea here, sampling Wattleseed Pikelets, fresh Damper and native jams.

Staying away from the crowds
Leaving Muru Mittigar we head up into the Mountains. Because we're not tied to a set itinerary, we can design our day based on the opportunities that will present the best the Mountains have to offer on the day. We keep away from the large tourist buses and the crowds, concentrating on the smaller (but equally spectacular) lookouts, bushwalks and reserves that will give us a real experience of this beautiful part of Australia. We'll visit several lookouts throughout the day, giving us fabulous views of the Jamieson, Grose and Megalong Valleys, the Three Sisters and Echo Point.
Stretching your legs
Throughout the day there'll be the opportunity to get out and enjoy a few short walks. This will include walks to lookout points, perhaps a short rainforest loop, and a stroll around the stunning ancient volcanic grounds at Euroka Clearing, where kangaroos, birds and other wildlife abound. While these walks are on rough bush tracks, they're neither very long, nor taxing - just a great chance to take a stroll in the Australian bush!
Lunch time
At lunchtime we visit the beautiful serenity of the Megalong Valley, and the Megalong Tearooms. The Valley is a great place to really get away from the crowds, as we dine in a cosy cafe overlooking the pastures of the Megalong Valley. Lunch is included in the tour price, so there are no hidden extras to worry about. You'll find plenty of hot or cold options to choose from, plus your choice of softdrink, tea or coffee.

Getting up close and personal with the Wildlife
After lunch we'll visit a few more lookouts before heading back down the mountains. On the way we'll enter the Blue Mountains National Park, making our way to the ancient volcanic crater that forms Euroka Clearing. This fertile bush valley is the perfect setting for spotting iconic Australian animals in their natural bush environment. No wildlife parks with crowds and fences here - just a beautiful setting where you can enjoy kangaroos and wallabies in the wild, and watch the antics of Australia's vast array of colourful, noisy birds and fascinating animals.

Returning to Sydney
Leaving Euroka Clearing we head down the Mountains to Sydney. There'll be time to enjoy a film or documentary on the onboard TV, or to snooze away the day's indulgences! You'll return to Sydney approximately 5.30pm, with a complimentary drop-off to your city hotel or transit point.
Overall, a Boutique Mountain Tours day means a great day out of Sydney, experiencing the wildlife, aboriginal culture, views and countryside of the beautiful Blue Mountains. Our small group
size means you can be sure of personal attention from dedicated and enthusiastic guides,
in comfortable and spacious vehicles. There's also the chance to mingle with other
