Our very first steps on Australia soil lead us straight from Sydney airport out of the city. Destination Wolgan Valley, the One & Only resort a 3 hour drive West into the Blue Mountains. This private conservation & wildlife reserve includes luxury resort facilities. Heritage villas with swimming pool, spa, gym, mountain bikes for mode of transportation and many bush excursions to choose from. We have kangaroos playing in our front yard daily. The light, the surroundings, the staff and the (organic) food: this is the perfect home away from home to get in sync with our new time zone. Let me show you.
