Australia’s Blue Mountains
A clinical psychologist, Jene Edwards, PhD, is experienced at treating patients who are victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. Outside of work Dr. Jene Edwards, PhD, enjoys traveling, and one of the countries she has visited is Australia.
A popular tourist destination in Australia is the Blue Mountains region. A UNESCO World Heritage Area, it can be reached by car from Sydney with a travel time of around two hours; train and coach tours are also available. Huge eucalyptus trees densely covering the area produce a fine mist of oil that, combined with water vapor, dust particles, and sunlight, produce the blue haze that gives the area its name.
Accessible year-round, the Blue Mountains span 1 million hectares, featuring bushland, canyons, giant forests, waterfalls, rock formations, underground caves, cliffs, and a sandstone plateau towering 1,100 meters. The region has eight linked conservation areas where one can find aboriginal engravings, and outstanding scenic hiking areas through 140 kilometers of walking trails.
The region also boasts resorts, spas, and restaurants. Other tourist attractions include the Scenic Skyway gondola ride traversing Jamison Valley.
