Grose Valley
Deep, spectacular canyons and sheer sandstone cliffs located near Blackheath in the Blue Mountains.

The massive reservoir behind Warragamba Dam, providing a stunning blue contrast to the surrounding bushland.

Kanangra-Boyd Wilderness
Rugged plateaus and deep valleys within the southern reaches of the Greater Blue Mountains Area.
