Sublime Point Lookout
“It was misty the day we went, but we saw Mount Solitary rising like an island above the clouds. It was magical. The kids thought it was a fairy castle.”
It will feel like you’re on the edge of the world as the views go on forever at Sublime Point lookout – Leura, in Blue Mountains National Park. Offering sensational scenic views of the Jamison Valley, it’s a popular spot for picnicking and birdwatching with families. The more adventurous know it as a haven for rock climbing.
Following an easy track, look for gang-gangs and cockatoos feeding in the casuarinas during summer. You’ll cross a bridge over a dramatic ravine before arriving at the lookout platform.
Gaze across the scenic valley views and soak up the unending wilderness. You’ll get a different viewpoint on Katoomba and the extended family of The Three Sisters. On a misty morning, Mount Solitary rising out of the clouds is a magnificent sight.
The sheer cliffs attract experienced rock climbers, who are often seen tackling climbs such as ‘Hells Bells’ and ‘Sweet Dreams’.

Walk Around Lake Leschenaultia
Located within the Shire of Mundaring this was a great bushwalk around the very popular Lake Leschenaultia.
A very easy walk, perfect for young kids to check out native Australian plants before a swim in the lake.
Also saw a pair of very cute fairy wrens.

Donna Cave, Chillagoe
Donna Cave is one of the 3 caves in Chillagoe managed by the NPWS. Access is only by guided tour with a NPWS Ranger who provides a commentary on the formation and history of the cave.
The cave is well lit and has steel walkways and stairs (approx. 300) throughout.
The stalactites and stalagmites are awesome and the whole experience is well worth the effort.

Isolated Peak and Toms Tom
This walk is mostly off track and has some very exposed and challenging descents. The views are spectacular on clear days. A rope is almost obligatory (I didn't take one but I certainly would have used it to descend from Toms Tum if I had one). I would not recommend tackling this route in wet weather as there is a lot of rock scrambling and some sections of almost vertical rock climbing (descending). I had mobile phone reception on the top of Isolated Peak and Toms Tum.

Mailbox Peak
A tough hike basically straight up the side of a mountain from its base to peak. Elevation gain is 1250 m. The trail is initially forested until about the top 1500 m which are above the tree line. The mountain is also a perfect pyramid and is the first major peak on the edge of the range. All this adds up to amazing, distant, 360-degree views.
