I love natural beauty, and I especially enjoy the Australian forests and the fresh smell of the eucalypts and the sound of chirping birds. Australia has many beautiful forests. The Blue Mountains National Park is one of my favourite places to visit, along with the mountains behind the Gold Coast in Queensland Anywhere there are mountains, tall eucalypts, tree ferns, native animals and birdlife, I'm in my element, I'm where I belong.

+RayBushfox I feel the same about our parks here in Canada.

[@Ray-VK3CEO]

+TheCanadiangirl4. You have some magnificent National Parks in Canada. My niece (who lives in Calgary), sends me photos of the wonderful scenic attractions that your wonderful country has to offer.

[@TheCanadiangirl4]

+RayBushfox Aw, that's very kind of you to say. I'm guessing you're talking about Banff? I would love to see the Blue Mountains in your country, it absolutely beautiful.

Magnifiques souvenirs!

I'm so lucky to have this in my backyard.

Good thing all those tracks were built years ago. NPWS and modern inner suburban greenies would never allow them to be constructed these days.

Many are recent

As an Australian, I find it strange that the Drop Bears of the area seem to be able to single out the Australians from the tourists. I have never actually heard of an Australian being taken out by a Drop Bear.

[@neddyladdy]

Oh Sherie, I had one take me out a week or two ago. We took in a live show and then went on to dinner, all in all a very pleasant evening.

so how did they get the bulldozers down int and out this valley, helicopters maybe

[@matthewwebb2542]

how long does it take to walk it

[@HotGeneration200]

about 2 hours depending on your level of fitness

[@allbunsglazing]

they started the NSW bushfires.

[@petercao5767]

such a tiny track.

[@mrdavidurquhart]

So many people must find themselves at the bottom desperately in need of a toilet. The lack of any kind of facility results in unsafe practices - people going off trail, people spoiling the environment for others and the waterway being contaminated. There must be some way that this can be remedied.

what the fuck is this music they put behind this video? how on earth did they consider a cheesy hip hop beat appropriate for such a beautiful place! (shouldn't be any music imo, just the natural sounds of the canyon)

[@alanbstard4]

Europeans? You mean British
