Learn about bush foods and medicine, handle tools and weaponry and try your hand at throwing a boomerang.

Arrive at the Blue Mountains, where you will see the areas most famous sites and views, but keep away from the crowds at secluded lookouts to appreciate the solitude and immensity.

Look out for wild native animals in the fertile grounds of an extinct volcano at the Blue Mountains National Park.
