About this guide and where the information comes from
An independent guide, built from official sources and checked dates. Here is exactly how.
What this is
Blue Mountains Guide is an independent visitor guide to the Blue Mountains region of New South Wales, from Glenbrook to Lithgow and Oberon. It is published by Kynric, a small Australian digital publisher. It is not run by a council, tourism body or national parks agency.
Where the facts come from
- Walks and campgrounds: distance, time, grade, trailhead coordinates, facilities and fees are taken from the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service page for each track or campground, linked on every page.
- Route lines and offline maps: drawn from OpenStreetMap data, © OpenStreetMap contributors, used under the Open Database Licence.
- Events: collected weekly from Blue Mountains City Council, Visit Blue Mountains and bluemts.com.au calendars, and from organisers who submit directly. Each event links to its official page.
- Markets: schedules from each market's own published information. "Next date" is calculated from that schedule.
- Photos: freely licensed images from Wikimedia Commons, credited on the photo credits page.
What we do not do
We do not publish a place we cannot tie to an official source. We do not report track closures ourselves: conditions change daily, so every page links to the official alerts instead. Paid listings are always labelled "Sponsored".
Corrections
If something is wrong or out of date, email hello@kynric.com with the page and the fix. Corrections are made within two business days.
Safety
