Day 1 - Spend a day in the spectacular Blue Mountains World Heritage Area
For many years after the arrival of the first fleet in 1788, the mountains immediately to the west and southwest of Sydney proved to be an impenetrable barrier to the first European settlers. Today much of the land is still a natural wilderness and the ideal place for nature enthusiasts wishing to experience some of the finest bush country in Australia. The valleys of the Blue Mountains harbour an extraordinary variety of wildlife in immense numbers. With an experienced guide and patience, you may be rewarded with sightings of Grey kangaroos, wombats and the shy platypus.
Travel by private limousine to Bankstown Airport to meet up with your pilot.  This flight takes you over Sydney Harbour and then on to Sydney's western suburbs and into the wilderness of the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area and beyond.  The valleys and sheer sandstone escarpments of the mountains have been sculptured bu millions of years of erosion leaving some of the most spectacular wilderness scenery anywhere in Australia.  Your pilot will leave behind the more touristed areas of the central mountains and land in a remote valley on the Wollondilly River – here you meet your local wilderness guide, Mark Tickner.

As this is an exclusive experience, Mark will tailor the day to suit your interests, however, for wildlife enthusiasts, the regions offers the chance to spot kangaroos, echidnas, goannas as well as a multitude of birds on foot, while a gentle paddle by kayak offers the rare opportunity to get up close with one of Australia's most elusive mammals, the platypus.  For the less active, the camp offers a spot of fly-fishing or just a wonderfully pleasant afternoon listening to the sounds of the bush over a bottle of Australian wine.

Your helicopter pilot will fly you back to Bankstown Airport in the late afternoon via the Blue Mountains and Three Sisters.  On arrival you will be transferred by private limousine back to your Sydney CBD hotel.
