Brief introduction of blue mountain range

The mountains of Australia. Located in the east of New South Wales, 65 kilometers west of Sydney, it is a branch of the Great Watershed. At an altitude of 1, 100 meters, the Cox River and the Ni Ping River pass through it, with high peaks and valleys, which are obstacles to westward migration in the early days. Existing railways and highways run through mountainous areas. There are famous tourist attractions, such as Yenolan limestone cave.

A part of the eastern highlands (great watershed). The landform is sandstone plateau with deep cutting. The altitude rises from 370 ~ 550m (1, 200 ~ 1, 800ft) on the eastern cliff to 1,180m (387 1 ft) on the western cliff bird rock. With convenient transportation and many scenic spots, it is a famous tourist attraction. Blue mountains national park covers an area of 65,438+0,989 square kilometers (768 square miles), with the Gross Valley as the center. All kinds of eucalyptus grow in mountainous areas, and fine eucalyptus oil drops are scattered in the air. After light diffuses, they appear light blue, so they are called blue mountains. In 2000, it was designated as a World Heritage by UNESCO. Blue Mountain City is a consortium composed of more than 20 villages and towns. The population is about 73,650 (1993).

Located about 65 kilometers west of Sydney, the Blue Mountain Range is a tourist attraction in New South Wales, southeast Australia. Inclined from east to west, the highest point in the east is1070m above sea level, and the highest point in the west is 360-540m above sea level. The blue mountains have steep peaks and deep valleys. There are a lot of eucalyptus trees growing on the mountain. Eucalyptus is an evergreen tree with tall and straight trunk, hard wood and oily grease. Volatile oil can be extracted. Its natural volatile oil droplets are refracted by sunlight in the air to show blue light, hence the name Blue Mountain.

Blue Mountain is the highest mountain range in eastern Australia. Stretching for more than 4000 kilometers. The mountain range is formed by the accumulation of Triassic massive solid sandstone. The grotesque rocks here used to be an obstacle for European immigrants to move westward. 18 13 years, Braslan Lawson, a European, crossed the mountains near Katumba and arrived inland. At that time, a memorial tree was planted at the entrance of the mountain. The stump of this tree is still there, and it is one of the remaining pioneers.

The blue mountains have a pleasant climate and winding roads. Three Sisters Peak, located on the bank of jamison Canyon near Cuttum Ba, a mountain city, is a scenic spot in the Blue Mountain.
