Save these 8 trails for your Blue Mountains Bucket Save these 8 trails for your Blue Mountains Bucket List! ✨📌

Here’s a list of trails to add to your Blue Mountains itineraries - of course there’s so many more iconic and incredible trails in the Blue Mountains but these are the ones I managed to do on my last visit! 🙌🏻

I’m still obsessed with the Blue Mountains after spending one week there last year so I don’t think I’ll ever get over these spots .. living up to the hype, challenging my navigation skills and creating magical moments that I’ll remember forever 🥹

‼️👉🏼Remember some of these hikes are very difficult, have minimal signage, require a map, prior research, rock scrambling, icy water crossings and lots of stairs - make sure you come prepared and check out the trail maps on @alltrails!

Which one are you most keen to see with your own eyes? 👀

Add this natural waterhole to your summer Victoria Add this natural waterhole to your summer Victoria Bucket List ✨

It’s no wonder the Blue Pool is one of the best swimming holes in Victoria with the freshest water, trees towering over the banks and lots of room on the rocky shore to set yourselves up for the day! 🙌🏻

Here’s what you need to know: 

🌿Explore up the gorge for more swimming spots
🧺There’s a few picnic tables within a short walking distance
🛟Bring an inflatable lilo or ring and drift across the water
⛺️You can actually camp here, only 500m from the pool
🦮Dogs are allowed here on leash
🥾You can walk up to the Peregrine Lookout or take a shorter walk up to the bluff and back.

👉🏼It’s super rocky so my top tip is to bring rock shoes or hiking sandals so you can comfortably walk into the water without hurting your feet! 

📍Blue Pool, Briagolong (3 hours’ drive east of Melbourne)

Comment “pool” and I’ll send you the info you’ll need to plan your trip and and itinerary 🗺️
