The Blue Mountains - "Grand Canyon with trees"
From the bustling Sydney Fish Market to lunch on a private farm in the Blue Mountains, experience this unique tour in the comfort of a luxury small vehicle with me along to ensure you have a great day. You will experience one of the world's oldest mountain ranges with amazing views from on high as well as the contrast of spending time on a working farm.  • Choose your own fish for lunch at the Sydney Fish Market. How about something uniquely Australian like Barramundi, or Swordfish or John Dory?
• Have morning tea with a mob of wild kangaroos in the national park. Wild they may be, but you can get up close and personal for those great holiday snaps and also meet some of our feathered friends – cockatoos, magpies and kookaburras.
• We visit Blackheath where we enjoy our first stupendous mountain views, looking over one of the world’s oldest mountain ranges, also known as "The Grand Canyon – with trees".
• Lunch on a private working horse farm, where you will enjoy the delicious fish you have chosen (or meat if you prefer) next to the shed where the horses hang out. If you like, you can go horseriding (optional extra) or just sit back with a glass of Australian wine as I prepare a wonderful Aussie barbecue.
• We visit Scenic World, an abandoned coal mine in the rainforest that has been converted into the most popular tourist destination outside Sydney. Enjoy a thrilling ride on the old miners’ railway, the steepest railway in the world, to an ancient rainforest where the hanging vines elicit visions of Tarzan swinging through the trees!
• Our mountain visit is coming to an end, but not before we visit picturesque Leura, the centre of “Yulefest” where our friends from the northern hemisphere make believe it’s Christmas in July, with a roast meal and Santa Claus in front of a roaring fire!
• On the way home we stop in at Sydney Olympic Park where you can experience the home of “the best Olympics ever” and watch an audiovisual display of the highlights. Then it's back to your hotel with a bag full of memories of one of nature's wonders.
