SYDNEY & SURROUNDS
Blue Mountains & Hunter Valley -
A Helicopter Experience

Distances in Australia can be surprisingly vast. This excursion is an opportunity to capture the classical Sydney back country destinations, all in the one day. The first leg of the journey is by rail, travelling inland towards the Blue Mountains on an intercity train. This two-hour journey travels through the gracious suburbs & outer villages of Sydney where early settlers made their mark along the rail line. Slowly the train climbs into the Blue Mountains passing through a network of villages before reaching the village of Medlow Bath and the Hydro Majestic Hotel. Here you take in the spectacular views of the escarpments and valleys below while enjoying morning tea.

Your helicopter then takes you over the Blue Mountains National Parks towards the Hunter Valley. Most visitors only gain a small taste of the majesty of the Blue Mountains but your pilot will ensure you gain the full impact of the vastness of this spectacular bushland region. After a one hour flight over this extensive hinterland that includes the hidden valleys of the ancient Wollombi Pine you arrive in the heart of the Hunter Valley Wine Country for an afternoon of lunch and wine tasting.

The helicopter lands in the Peppertree Vineyards home to Robert's Restaurant. In the homestead first built in 1867 you can select from a full a la carte luncheon menu and dine on the terraces overlooking the vineyard. There is also an opportunity for a private tour, wine tasting & purchase of premium wines at the cellar door. The afternoon flight back to Sydney follows the coastline from the Hunter River, south to Palm Beach, the Hawkesbury River, onto Manly at the entrance of Sydney Harbour then across the Harbour over the Opera House & Harbour Bridge.
