The Fairfax Heritage Walking Track is an easy walk ideal for families or anyone looking for a short walk to experience the beautiful Blue Mountain scenery. The wheelchair-accessible path follows gentle slopes past an unusual hanging swamp before opening into a forest of peppermint and scribbly gums with seasonal wildflowers, including red waratahs in early summer. There are two lookouts along the way, George Phillips Lookout and Govetts Leap Lookout, both with picnic shelters and expansive views across the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park; perfect for taking in the Grose Valley, Govetts Gorge, and Jungle Falls.
