Mount
Wilson
135km from Sydney
No
holiday to the Blue Mountains is complete without a visit
to the magical village of Mt Wilson. At certain times of year
you’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stumbled into the Garden
of Eden.

at Mt Wilson
Rich
volcanic soils and high rainfall have produced Mt Wilson’s
lush native vegetation and allowed the loving development
of many superb English-style private gardens and tree-lined
avenues.
One
of the area’s most beautiful and important attractions is
‘The Cathedral of Ferns’ to be found opposite a large picnic
area. Walking tracks through the Cathedral take you under
an amazing canopy of ferns, sassafras and coachwoods. An understorey
of rainforest-style vines and ferns is covered by some massive
eucalypts - one being aptly named as the ‘Giant Tree’.
