Q: What makes a good sunset in the Blue Mountains?

The Blue Mountains plateau sits at around 1,000m west of Sydney with deep sandstone gorges dropping into eucalyptus forest. Echo Point gives the iconic Three Sisters view with the Jamison Valley below. At golden hour the sandstone cliffs turn amber and the eucalyptus haze below the escarpment softens the light. Govetts Leap in Blackheath faces west across the Grose Valley for a more open horizon shot.

At golden hour the sandstone cliffs turn amber and the eucalyptus oil haze in the valley diffuses the light into something unusually soft. Govetts Leap in Blackheath faces west across the open Grose Valley for a broader, less obstructed horizon shot.
