Blue Mountains and Hunter Valley

Blue Mountains and Hunger Valley, Australia – 2017. We did two bus tours while visiting Sydney. The first was a tour to the Hunter Valley to visit several Wineries and the second was a trip to the Blue Mountains National Park which included stops at Featherdale Wildlife Park, Scenic World and the Sydney Olympics Village. These photos are from the Blue Mountains and a winery.
