The Greater Blue Mountains Area consists of 10,326 sq kms of mostly forested landscape on a sandstone plateau 60 to 180 km inland from central Sydney in south-eastern Australia. Forming a central part of the Great Dividing Range, it consists of eight individual protected areas covering more than one million hectares of rainforest, canyons, eucalyptus forest and heathlands. The area includes vast expanses of wilderness and is equivalent in area to almost one third of Belgium, or twice the size of Brunei.
The area has seven contiguous national parks — Blue Mountains National Park, Wollemi National Park, Yengo National Park, Nattai National Park, Kanangra-boyd National Park, Gardens of Stone National Park and Thirlmere Lakes National Park — and one protected reserve which runs parallel to the country’s east coast behind Sydney.
This is an area of rugged tablelands, sheer cliffs, deep, inaccessible valleys and rivers and lakes teeming with life. The unique plants and animals that exist in this pristine highland reveal an extraordinary story of Australia’s antiquity and diversity of life. Here one can find the story of the evolution of Australia’s unique eucalypt vegetation and its associated communities.
The Aboriginal people residing in the area before European influx are the Darug, Gundungurra, Wanaruah, Wiradjuri, Darkinjung and Tharawal Nations.
Aboriginal Australians are genetically most similar to the indigenous populations of Papua New Guinea, and more distantly related to groups from East India.
