Three Sisters Lookout, Blue Mountains
Australia’s most celebrated mountain highway delivers iconic lookouts, heritage villages and world-class gardens at every turn.
With the current detour via the Darling Causeway from Mount Victoria, travellers are treated to an even more scenic passage – Autumn transforming the mountain ridgelines and valleys into a sweeping canvas of gold, crimson and amber. It’s one of those rare detours that feels less like an inconvenience and more like a discovery.
