Description:Blue Mountains National Park is part of the massive Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. The area, which was inscribed on the World Heritage list in December 2000, covers one million hectares – around twice the size of Brunei. Half of it is wilderness. The Blue Mountains region combines – blue tablelands, ridges, cliffs and gorges. The blue mist covering the landscape is produced by the eucalypt forests, which release fine droplets into the air. More than ninety different eucalypt species are found in the Greater Blue Mountains. They grow in a great variety of communities, from tall closed forests, through open forests and woodlands, to the stunted mallee shrublands on the plateaus.
