Description
Sleep out under the stars in Wild Bush Luxury in a traditional Australian swag, but with a touch of luxury and style. A private camping ground awaits you less than 2hrs drive or 45 minutes scenic helicopter flight from Sydney.
The scenery here is awesome and dramatic and due to the location of the camp, you will feel like you have the escarpments, springs, caves and rivers all to yourself. Your private wilderness guide will take you wildlife viewing, bush walking, fishing or canoeing in this unspoilt countryside before taking you back to camp. The extraordinary variety of wildlife here includes various species of kangaroos, wallabies, wombats, possums, platypus, koalas and numerous bird species.
Blue Mountain Private Safaris set your bedding up on a raised wooden platform, with the finest bed linen and ensuite facilities - comfort is of the essence. A camp fire is built and your guide cooks exquisite food and you can enjoy the finest Australian wines before an extremely comfortable night under the clear skies watching the stars.
This unique adventure allows you to experience the incredible wildlife and scenery that rural Australia has to offer, with the convenience of only being a couple of hours from Sydney.

When to travel
In the southern half of Australia the seasons are the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere: spring comes in September, summer is from December to February, autumn runs from March to May, and winter begins in June.
New South Wales is great to visit year round but if you want warm sun and dry weather it is best to try between November and April. Their winter months of May - October usually have mild weather so you can still enjoy all the sights. Howver, open fires and winter bedding are provided in the colder months.
