I love the Blue Mountains, there is something about the place that keeps drawing me back. The Grampians, although only been once - Halls Gap. Mystery Bay NSW South Coast and Eden - love them. ![]()

I don't know about camping but I wouldn't mind doing a bit of Glamping aka royal style. That would be so much fun.

Do you ever go bushwalking in the BM National Park or do you pretty much stick to driving? Some amazing walks there if that is your 'scene' - the Grand Canyon is one or down into the Blue Gum Forest in the Grose Valley. If you don't want to walk, there is some terrific scenery at the end of Shipley Plateau which involves just a short walk. You access it by crossing the railway line at Blackheath and turning left and following your nose!
There is a 'mini' Echo Point at the end of it.
No we go on walks (not to long). We like to look for plants, rare and endangered ones the most exciting, (we take photo's of them). We've been to Shipley Plateau lots. There is also some mountain trail that's on the way to the Mt Tomah Botanic Garden, we usually do that every time we stay up there. It's brilliant and we have never seen anyone else around there. All the way up there are tiny plants along the edges, most people probably wouldn't even notice them. I havn't stopped thinking about the Blue Mountains all morning now, will be looking later in the week to book.

The back road up to Mount Wilson and Mount Irvine used to be fantastic for that but I seem to recall there was a landslip and the road was closed some years ago.
Not sure if that is the one you are referring to but don't you see some amazing things - just by taking that 'road to nowhere'? We used to love turning down them and exploring ...... just because lol

I hope it's not the same place, Mr Boris says it's either on the way to Mt Victoria, or it is Mt Victoria - does that sound right. We haven't been since 2011 but now we are planning late May or early June. Narrowneck is also a good stroll, only along it though - not down for me, I would never make it back up again.![]()
