Blue Mountains Circuit — NSW.
The Blue Mountains rise sharply from the Sydney basin, and the Great Western Highway takes you to a plateau 1,000m above sea level. Katoomba's Three Sisters and Echo Point are Australia's most visited natural attraction after the Reef. The Bells Line of Road is the superior motorcycle road — narrow, forested, and uncrowded.
