Blackheath

Tucked into the sandstone plateau of the Blue Mountains, Blackheath is a place whose character is shaped by the deep escarpments and eucalypt bushland of the Grose Valley. At the town’s northern edge, Govetts Leap faces sheer cliffs and Govetts Leap Falls, while walking tracks lead into Blue Mountains National Park. Blackheath developed with the arrival of the Western railway in the nineteenth century and retains a compact centre with cafés, galleries and the atmosphere of an established mountain resort. It also lies within the Greater Blue Mountains Area, listed by UNESCO for its exceptional eucalypt ecosystems.
