Public Transport

For visitors travelling from overseas, the nearest airport is Sydney Airport. From there, the best means to travel to the Blue Mountains is by car - about a 50-minute drive to the entrance at Glenbrook. Follow the signs to Parramatta and take the M4 Motorway at Strathfield through to Lapstone and the Blue Mountains. The trip to Leura or Katoomba takes about 90 minutes from the airport. If you're travelling by car, take the M4 Motorway out of Sydney or take the longer, meandering route via Windsor and Kurrajong along the Bells Line of Road. The rise from the coastal plain begins at Glenbrook, 65km west of Sydney, and the road passes through many small towns along the way to Leura, Katoomba and on to Blackheath. The iconic rock formation known as the Three Sisters is at Echo Point, Katoomba. Alternative routes will take you on a more scenic path via Bells Line of Road through Richmond and Mount Tomah, to Bell and across to Mount Victoria. It’s a delightful drive and a different introduction to the vast Blue Mountains National Park compared to the Great Western Highway. If coming from the outer west, follow the signs to Lithgow, go through Hartley and enter the Blue Mountains through Victoria Pass which will take you straight to the top of Mount Victoria.

Although having a car in the Blue Mountains offers a far greater opportunity to see the sights, travelling by public transport to your destination offers a relaxing alternative. An efficient rail service takes you directly from Sydney Airport to Central Railway Station. Shuttle buses from the airport also take you to Central Station. From here, trains serviced by Transport NSW take you to the Blue Mountains – Wentworth Falls, Leura, Katoomba, Blackheath, Mount Victoria and Lithgow. They run regularly and more frequently during peak commuter times. For more details visit: http://www.transportnsw.info/ Once you arrive in the Blue Mountains, there are various transport options. You can take a red double-decker Explorer Bus to the top 30 attractions with a ticket that gives you all-day access to the hop-on, hop-off bus. For more information visit www.explorerbus.com.au The Blue Mountains Bus Company operates the hop-on, hop-off Trolley Tours around the Katoomba and Leura areas and a public transport system. You can also reserve seats for a bus to the Jenolan Caves. Go to www.bmbc.com.au for schedules.
