The Blue Mountains are about a 2 hour train ride from Sydney. I stayed at the international hostel in Katoomba and it was probably the best hostel I’ve ever seen. The trails at the Blue Mountains involve going down about 1000 steps, so make sure you’re in time to take the train back up or be ready for the climb. Overall, a very good weekend.

This train has the steepest incline in the world.
