Visit the Mountains
Slip on your outdoor boots and make a day of it!
Just a short 5 minute drive from our boot store you’ll find a charming sandstone cottage set in a tranquil garden which was home to Australian artist, writer and cartoonist Norman Lindsay. It now serves as a gallery and museum displaying paintings and sculptures.
Lindsay is probably most well-known for writing the popular children’s book, The Magic Pudding. Take a guided tour or wander around at your leisure. Visit the website.
Located in the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park are the picturesque Wentworth Falls. There are a variety of walks and lookouts around the area so whether you would prefer a leisurely stroll or a more challenging hike along the cliff edge, there should be something to suit you.
A great place to head first would be the Conservation Hut which houses an information centre, restaurant and is the starting point for some of the most popular bushwalks. For more information head here.

A trip to the Blue Mountains is not complete without seeing the Three Sisters! This spectacular rock formation is said, according to Aboriginal legend, to represent three sisters who were turned to stone. The colours change according to the time of day and the season, and with floodlights on until 11pm they look magnificent at any time of the day or night.
For more information, visit the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service Parks website.
5. Katoomba
It’s also worth stopping in at the town of Katoomba, the largest town in the Blue Mountains. With antique stores, second hand book shops, galleries and cafés and restaurants galore, you’ll find plenty to do here. And if you want to browse even more shops, there are treasures to be found in Leura too, just 2 kilometres down the road.
If you’re heading further up the mountains, the Jenolan Caves located on the southwestern edge of the Blue Mountains are well worth a visit. Australia’s most famous caves showcase one of the oldest cave systems in the world. Take a cave tour and see underground rivers, spectacular limestone creations and hear more about Australian Aboriginal culture. And there are self-guided options available too.
Afterwards relax at the restaurant, café and bar, and there is also a range of accommodation options including the historical Caves House. From easy strolls and self-guided tours to scary night walks there is something for everyone. Visit the website.
Be sure to drop in and see us at Blue Mountains Boots and pick up a souvenir to remember your trip by!
We can also give you pointers on what else to see while you’re here. See you soon 🙂
