		The Blue Mountains are perhaps what the grand canyon will be in a few hundred million years, give or take, or another way to look at it is that the blue mountains were like the grand canyon millions of years ago.
		The Blue Mountains in my opinion are really interesting but wrongly named, especially in view of the real mountains you have seen elsewhere.
		Blue Mountains are a signature attraction that is almost as memorable trademark of down under as the opera house reflecting on the harbor.

	Welcome to Ulinbawn, one of the early residences of the Blue Mountains
		The first road across the mountains, built by Cox in 1815, made its arduous ascent of the escarpment only a few metres from where Ulinbawn was later to be built.
		In the 1860s came the railway, which, by means of the Lapstone Zig Zag, established a practical transport route to the interior.
		Up to this time the mountains were an obstacle to be crossed, but with the comfort and ease of the train came an interest in the mountains in their own right as a place to visit or settle.
