Explore Blue Mountains History with a Creative Twist
An initiative of Blue Mountains Association of Cultural Heritage Organisations (BMACHO), the Greater Blue Mountains Heritage Trail (GBMHT) offers historically minded visitors the opportunity to explore important resources, as well as the spectacular scenery, through the museums, historical societies, family history societies, historical buildings, galleries, historic gardens and historic businesses that appear along the trail. It is an opportunity for local businesses and smaller volunteer-run organisations alike to showcase their rich and unique heritage.
The organisations and businesses on the Greater Blue Mountains Heritage Trail offer unique events all of which they promote on their websites.
Locals and visitors alike are encouraged to explore the unique heritage resources on offer and to get creative and share their experiences and discoveries through photos. Enjoy the world famous scenery, learn about some of the hidden gems along the way, including the Campbell Rhododendron Gardens at Blackheath or stop for something to eat at one of the historic restaurants or cafes. Come for the day or stay for the weekend at one the historic cottages, guesthouses or hotels rich with unique cultural and historical significance. Explore the rich and fascinating history of this region with the locals, who know it best.
The trail encompasses businesses from Emu Plains to Lithgow along the Great Western Highway, and then from Lithgow to Windsor down the Bells Line of Road.
