If you’re visiting Sydney between March and May, a Blue Mountains autumn tour should be high on your list as the local area bursts into stunning colour, temperatures are more comfortable, and the crowds dissipate.
A lot of Sydney locals wouldn’t agree with us when we say that the passing of summer is not such a bad thing. For many, it means the end of long beach days and the beginning of shorter, cooler days. At YSG, we think autumn is a great time of year to visit Sydney. With typically clear, sunny weather, and only slightly cooler days that can still be over 25 degrees (77 Fahrenheit), it is perfect weather for getting out and exploring our beautiful city and its surrounds.
If you are sending clients to Sydney, or visiting yourself, autumn is a lovely time of year for a Blue Mountains tour. Unlike the city, with its dry sandy soils, the higher elevations and rich soils of the Blue Mountains meant that early, homesick European settlers in the area planted their gardens with exotic, deciduous trees like Japanese Maples, Silver Birch, and Beech. Due to the colder mountain climate, these trees explode into all shades of red, yellow and orange at this time of year. The villages of Leura, Mount Wilson and Mount Tomah particularly, have amazing autumn displays and attract visitors every year to enjoy the rich colours.
Another benefit of touring the Blue Mountains in autumn is that crowds have dropped off, and combined with the slightly cooler temperatures, it makes for the perfect time to visit. Consider adding to your itinerary some private garden visits, a drive through Mount Wilson, and taking in Mount Tomah Botanical Gardens, to take advantage of this stunning season. Add to this classic Blue Mountains stops such as the Three Sisters in Katoomba, lunch in Leura, a visit to Scenic World, and some jaw-dropping views over the Jamison and Grose valleys, and you have a perfect autumn itinerary.
The YSG team includes tour guides who have lived in the Blue Mountains and have extensive experience leading tours in the region, so we have a wealth of knowledge to draw on to tailor a perfect private tour for you. Contact us to start a conversation about creating your Blue Mountains autumn tour. By the way, if you’re more interested in visiting a coastal region than you are mountains, then you might want to consider the secluded Jervis Bay region which can also be visited via a private Sydney tour.
See you in Sydney soon,
