Perched at the top of the Blue Mountains, Blackheath feels quieter, wilder and just a little more local than its neighbouring towns. With crisp mountain air, dramatic lookouts and a village full of character, it’s the perfect place to slow down and settle in for 24 hours.

Escape the city for a high-altitude adventure where Art Deco elegance meets rugged wilderness. This guide leads you from specialty coffee and artisan pastries to sun-drenched cliff walks, hidden vintage haunts, and award-winning craft brews.
