blue mountains one day trying to fit it all in see how we go
all right so today it's easter break the family's down from brisbane and
we're trying to give them the blue mountains introduction in one day we're joined by my mum
so we have to limit ourselves of what we can and can't do fine tracks that are
short and the views that are amazing but they're close to the car park
so that's what this video is about touristy places with low effort hopefully we get some good shots
i just got here it is busy like he's busy had the park on the side of the road maybe
100 something meters down and it's only 9 30. yeah we're going with michaela to
the blue mountains it's very exciting
so
we originally were going to do the wentworth falls track but
we're parking everything everything was delayed and we don't have much time because
we're trying to see how much we can fit in so nick found out there's this princess rock track
um it's only like a 20 minute return so it should be short and hopefully nice
named after him princess rock
ambitious
just like
yeah why is it probably known it's the evaporation
from the eucalyptus leaves which turns everything blue
we should do a dance fast hosted by
mikaela
three two one
that is very cool come through
food vantage point
if you wanted to go to blue mountains this is a good way to go around blue mountains explorer bars
majesty yeah
all right lunch is done and we're heading to scenic world
we're heading to scenic well what are you going to do passive lineup
hey we're inside
so i would recommend taking the world's steepest railway into the valley first agreed
you then get a short 10 minute walk around to the cableway or a longer 30 minute walk
you then have the cableway back out of the valley that will be your second ride today once you're
back out of the valley you also get a return trip on the skyway that's your third ride for the day
tourism really started to keep up here at the blue mountains
okay tourists would walk into the valley a thousand stairs people didn't want to
walk up a thousand stairs so they paid the coal line of money to run call skips to the
and there's some really cool features on this train you can see that there's
three seating angles cliffhanger original and laid back so work around the power
to choose your angle so you can make the world's steepest railway even steeper
by choosing cliffhanger or you could you can make it less steep by choosing lane
hey dad how you stations dad you good
let's do this
is
mom's sitting next to me
oh damn
everybody same size as lebanon so uh
surprisingly it's still never been recorded dry in blue mountains history
but if you look to the horizon there's a blue ace that is eucalyptus oil evaporating so when
you guys see it and the sunlight isn't it will only reflect blue light and that's why there's a
blue haze if you live in the city you always see when you come up it smells fresher it's because
you're getting some eucalyptus in the air you can never see up close it is only from a distance
and we're off oh full on it's like five o'clock um
ice cream we've been here since like 2 45 that's what session time is and it's five
o'clock and we just did all three rides in a 30 minute sculpture so if you're gonna do this
allow for at least two hours and 15 minutes
now that is waiting around there's more check it out right you look at the view look at them
i did say we're finished but we're not look look at this how pretty this is it's i'm looking at
amanda
toilet is right there we just got like
10 minutes down the road like bump to bumper traffic and she wants to get a toy you
