Blue Mountains:
1813 Blaxland, Lawson and Wentworth successfully cross the Blue Mountains.
The Blue Mountains are not actually mountains but a series of plateaus that form part of the Great Dividing Range that runs north/south on the Australian continent.
The plateaus rise from 100 meters above sea level to 1,300 meters at its highest point.
Governor Phillip had first name them “Carmarthen Hills” then “Landsdowne Hills” in 1788 but was soon changed again.
The Blue Mountains got its namesake when the early settlers first viewed it from a distance.
It appeared a blue haze was lurking above the range.
The mountains are not actually blue, it’s the evaporation of eucalyptus oil from the dominant eucalyptus trees and the sun light scattering blue light particles that cause the blue haze.
