Sunrise in Blue Mountains National Park, Australia

A sunrise in the Blue Mountains, accompanied by the sound of bellbirds.
Blue Mountains National Park is located on the eastern Australian coast near Sydney in New South Wales. There is a breathtaking scenery and an abundance of wildlife. Marsupials, such as the kangaroo, the wallaby, the wombat and the koala or birds such as the kookaburra, the ibis or the always very noisy cockatoo are to be found here.
In 1934 conservationists demonstrated to save the blue gum forest, right behind Sydney, from being felled. The demonstration was a success. The conservationists collected money to buy out the tenant and prevented him from carrying out his dastardly plans. In fact this action was a forerunner of the nature conservation campaigns to follow. The result, a part of the Blue Mountains was saved, which people can still enjoy today.

Officially designated by UNESCO as World Heritage Site, this site is to be safeguarded for the future as a testimony to its enduring past.
