Blue Gum Forest

Blue Gum Forest, nestled in Grose Valley within the Blue Mountains National Park, showcases a remarkable stand of towering Mountain Blue Gums (Eucalyptus deanei). This closed forest, a haven for diverse wildlife, was preserved in the 1930s by dedicated bushwalkers who pooled resources to protect it from logging. Accessible only by foot, visitors can embark on challenging tracks from Perrys Lookdown or Pierces Pass, each offering unique perspectives of the forest's grandeur. For those seeking an immersive experience, the nearby Acacia Flat campground provides a serene base amidst the wilderness.
