Blue Mountains National Park. The staff can also arrange personalized guided<br />

tours of the mountains. It’s open daily <strong>from</strong> 9am to 4:30pm (closed Christmas).<br />

Check the website, www.bluemts.com.au, for more information on the area.<br />

GUIDED TOURS FROM SYDNEY Many private bus operators offer day<br />

trips <strong>from</strong> Sydney, but it’s important to shop around because some offer a<br />

guided coach tour where you just stretch your legs occasionally, while others let<br />

you get the cobwebs out of your lungs with a couple of longish bushwalks. One<br />

highly recommended operator is Oz Trek Adventure <strong>To</strong>urs (& 02/9360 3444;<br />

www.oztrek.com.au). Their trips include a tour of the Olympic site, a visit to<br />

Glenbrook National Park (where you’ll see kangaroos and wallabies in the wild),<br />

tours of all the major Blue Mountain sites, and a 1 1 ⁄2-hour bushwalk. It costs<br />

A$54 (US$35) for adults and A$43 (US$28) for kids. You can also add on<br />

overnight packages, horse riding, and abseiling.<br />

Oz Experience (& 1300/300 028 in <strong>Australia</strong>, or 02/9213 1766; www.oz<br />

experience.com) offers tours ranging <strong>from</strong> a day (includes lunch) to 4 days
