The Blue Mountains of New South Wales, Australia, roughly 100 kilometres west of Sydney, are a range of sandstone "mountains" that reach to at least 1190 metres above sea level (in the Lithgow area). They are not mountains in the usual sense but a sandstone plateau with rugged eroded gorges of up to 760 metres depth. Much of the Blue Mountains is incorporated in the Greater Blue Mountains Area World Heritage Site and its constituent seven national parks and a conservation reserve.
