Western Sydney and Blue Mountains is part of the Greater Western Sydney Region, and includes the Local Government Areas of Auburn, Blacktown, Blue Mountains, Hawkesbury, Holroyd, Parramatta, Penrith and The Hills.
One of the most spectacular non-technical canyons around Sydney, the relatively short Rocky Creek Canyon offers multiple water-jumps, water slides and narrow and enchanting slots.
A fun, partly off-track Blue Mountains bushwalk in Valley Heights that follows a creek past small cascades and swimming holes. (You can also follow the firetrail but that wouldn’t be as much fun!)
An off-track bushwalk in Wollemi National Park which descends to the Upper Tootie Cascades via Cascades Peak. The route follows the base of the cliffs along Tootie Creek before the climb out via Stairway Ravine.
A loop bushwalk in the Blue Mountains that’s great for a hot day. It descends Govetts Creek past Myers Fall to Henson Glen, before returning via Bruces Walk.
An adventurous loop which combines Joes Canyon, Du Faur Creek Canyon and Bell Canyon with an exit from the Wollangambe River. Lot of creek walking and wading, with four short swims and some narrow slots.
A challenging bushwalk to the Grose River in the Devils Wilderness. The route follows Browns Ridge along the Browns Ridge Trail, before a steep descent into the Grose Gorge via Browns Creek.
A challenging bushwalk offering spectacular views in the Wolgan Valley. The off-track route ascends to Constance Point via a narrow pass in the cliffs before continuing along Constance Ridge to Tiger Snake Point. Return via Constance Gorge and Zobels Gully.
Originally established in 1931, the historic Bruces Walk was restored and re-opened in the 1980s. The trail has multiple ladders as it traverses multiple valleys, with an optional side-trip to a re-discovered waterfall.
A less-travelled but mostly on-track walk to Venus Tor, a rock outcrop that offers 360-degree views over the Blue Mountains and Grose Valley. The route continues to Boorong Crags and makes a detour into Round Hill Gully.
The short but picturesque Happy Valley Track in Mount Wilson descends through rainforest to a waterfall and pristine swimming hole. The return route takes the Cathedral Creek Track up to Cathedral Reserve.
