10:30am – Arrive Mount Wilson

• Mount Wilson is a spectacular place to visit at any time of year but in autumn it really comes alive. The colours are jaw dropping – some of the leaves are such a vivid red that they look like they couldn’t possibly be real! Look up into the treetops and it’s a kaleidoscope of red, yellow, orange, peach and deep purple. It’s honestly one of the most magical places in NSW.

13:00 – Blue Mountain Botanic Garden

• Light lunch
• Walk around Blue Mountain Botanic Garden
  • Providing some of the most vibrant colour in autumn gardens, delicious syrup and winged seeds which helicopter to the ground to the great delight of any child in the vicinity, the genus Acer, or ‘maple’ as they are commonly known, is a beautiful and varied group of trees.
  • Featuring over 365 specimens, the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden Mount Tomah houses an expansive collection made up of 198 Acer species and cultivars. Unrivalled as the biggest draw to the Garden in autumn and providing huge interest with their varied and unusual bark, delicate leaf shape and exquisite habit, year round, Mount Tomah’s maples are unmissable.
