The Blue Haze of the Gumtree Hills: Recollections of the Blue Mountains

This anthology is a dedication to the Blue Mountains that stand as a sandstone sentinel flanking the west of Sydney.

Lavished in natural beauty, mildly sprinkled with cosy towns full of history and character, the Blue Mountains form a UNESCO World Heritage Site, silently welcoming – and healing – Sydneysiders for over two centuries, while sheltering indigenous people for millennia.

 In these pages, the writer extolls some of the many charms ensconced in the mountains, while marvelling at its grandeur, spiritedness and native beauty, and in the process reiterating why the Blue Mountains are the most visited National Park in the country.
