ニューサウスウェールズ州の峡谷・トップ5

ブルーマウンテンズ国立公園の崖っぷちに位置するこの展望台は、狭くて柵で囲まれた場所にあり、ウェントワース滝が眼下の谷に流れ落ちる様子を真正面から見ることができます。この場所からは、急な崖や、滝や周囲の岩壁を間近に見ることができます。展望台のスペースは限られており、特に雨上がりは表面が凸凹していたり、滑りやすくなっていることがあります。

Blue Tiles Walking Trail is a moderately challenging return walk in Molonglo Gorge Nature Reserve that follows the northern side of the Molonglo River through a rugged sandstone gorge. The narrow path winds through dry eucalypt woodland and black cypress pines, climbing above the river in places where the gorge walls steepen, and the landscape becomes more dramatic. Along the way, there are occasional breaks in the trees with beautiful views of the winding river and rocky cliffs before the trail reaches the peaceful riverside clearing at Blue Tiles.

Recently, at the beginning of August 2025, a huge landslide happened overnight, destroying two climbing routes: Big Loose Corner and Carnivore. Here you can see the lighter colored stone where 200,000 cubic meters of rock slid loose.

Govetts Leap Lookout sits on the edge of a sheer sandstone escarpment, offering one of the most expansive views in the Blue Mountains. From the viewing platform, you look straight across the Grose Valley to rugged cliffs and the thin ribbon of Govetts Leap Falls, dropping nearly 180 metres to the valley floor. It's an ideal place to capture some memorable photos while you're here.

The views from Hanging Rock and Baltzer Lookout are nothing shot of awe inspiring. The iconic Hanging Rock provides the perfect vantage point to take in the beauty of the Blue Mountains and should not be missed!

Undercliff Track traces along the cliffsides and passes by a number of amazing viewpoints. If you can time your hike after a rain then you'll see the waterfalls at their full potential.

Evans Lookout sits on the edge of the Grose Valley, with sweeping views across sandstone cliffs and deep forested gorges. Just a short walk from the car park, it’s a favourite spot for sunrise and sunset and a common access point for the Grand Canyon Track. From here, you can descend into the canyon, following the track through rainforest gullies and sandstone walls before looping back to the rim.

From up here you actually have a better view of the waterfalls, and the light is better too. Plus, it's not as slippery as down below.
