{Best Blue Mountains Walks: the Pulpit Rock Track (3 hours return): Begin at Govetts Leap car park on the outskirts of Blackheath, just 15 minutes along the Great Western Highway from Katoomba. Can you spot the pulpit?!}
On Saturday morning Mr. Spring and I got up at 5am for a day’s escape to the Blue Mountains. I’ve already documented my new found love of the area here and here but today I want to share the track that’s become my fast favourite. I promise it ticks every bush walk box – including wrapping up in plenty of time for a fireside lunch back in town. It was well worth dragging ourselves out of Sydney so early since we had the entire path – and all its lookouts – completely to ourselves. As someone who does sometimes feel hemmed in by city life there’s no better remedy than getting amongst this… creeks, waterfalls, caves, a little mud, a lot of wind, and stunning, soaring views.

Such a beautiful spot!! I don’t think I’ve been on that walk, though it was so many years ago when I was there. I do remember walking to a lookout and dropping my treasured Oakley Frogskin glasses over the edge – that tells you how long ago it was, mid 90′s. Yes, managed to retirieve them
You photos are stunning
Wow! I’ve never been to Australia, but after following yours and other amazing blogs from down under, it’s definitely on my to-do list! What fantastic scenery and that waterfall is fab! We made an escape from London’s madness this weekend down to the south coast – just posted some pix on my blog too : )
