Blue Mountains


In 1788, Governor Phillip named this area Carmarthen Hills and Landsdowne Hills, but when he saw the distinctive blue coloring of the mountains, the name was changed. The Blue Mountains get their name from the millions of Eucalyptus trees that envelope the area in a beautiful blue mist.
