Budget Accommodations in the Blue Mountains
By Train
- One of the most enjoyable and cheapest ways of getting to the Blue Mountains is by train. City Rail has regular services from Central Station in Sydney to the Blue Mountains every day. The trip takes approximately 2 hours from Central to Katoomba. The air-conditioned train line cuts through sandstone cliffs giving you a glimpse of the dense Australian bush. If you are on a tight budget this is the perfect way to get there.http://www.cityrail.info/
By Car
- There are two ways to travel by car to the Blue Mountains.Traveling along the M4 tollway from Straithfield the drive takes approximately 90 minutes to Katoomba. An alternative route is via Bell’s Line of Road This route takes you through Mount Tomah, Bell and ends at Mount Victoria. The journey from Sydney to Mt Tomah is around 120km and is slightly slower than the tollway but very pretty and relaxing.http://www.infobluemountains.net.au/
By Coach
- Many tourist companies run day trips to the Blue Mountains, leaving from the major city hotels and Circular Quay on the city harbour. If you are traveling through a travel agent you can find out specific details of coach travel through them.http://www.infobluemountains.net.au/
