Over several I days I took hikes in different parts of the Blue Mountains accessible by train from Sydney Central.

At Blackheath I hiked to Govett's Leap, then returned from there by bus direct to Katoomba.

At Wentworth Falls I hiked to the edge of the Jamieson Valley, and similarly caught a bus from nearby to Katoomba.

At Katoomba I took a hop-on hop-off trolley and got off at several locations for short hikes. The most rewarding stops I found were at the Leura Cascades, Gordon Falls and Echo Point.

Apart from the amazing views at each stop, there were continuous views of the scenery from the train between Glenbrook and Mount Victoria.
