This mountain town plays host to visitors from around the world, with over 1.1. million heading to Scenic World annually.
The mountain-scapes surrounding us are constantly changing through each distinct season. From bushwalking and gardening to fine dining and the arts, nature influences many aspects of local lifestyle. This is complimented by a varied calendar of events from Blue Mountains Music Festival to Leura Gardens Festival and the annual Ultra Trail Australia. A popular tree-change destination, the community of the Blue Mountain’s 80,000 residents includes many seeking true work life balance in a bucket-list destination.
