Everyday Hiker
Long weekend hiking in the Blue Mountains
No it's not South East Queensland but if you've ever thought of exploring the Blue Mountains in NSW here are some ideas and inspiration from a recent trip we took over an extended long weekend. I give ideas for six hiking trails both long and short plus some great places to visit for refreshment stops along the way including a winery and two cider houses. You can tell I'm from South East Queensland when I mixed up Katoomba with Toowoomba at one stage - can you spot the blooper?
