A sleepy little town over 769 m above sea level. In its literal meaning "blue sky", Bullaburra was among one of the last Blue Mountains towns to develop during the life of landowner Sir Henry Parkes, who called the area Colridge. The town boasts a selection of crafts, antiques and teahouses.
Bullaburra is a small town in the state of New South Wales, Australia, in the City of Blue Mountains. It is one of the towns that stretch along the route of the Main Western railway line and Great Western Highway which pass over the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Bullaburra used to have a service station but it was demolished in 2008. Bullaburra is an Aboriginal word meaning clear day.

Echo Point lookout
Unless you have come to this park several times before, a trip to Blue Mountains National Park is never complete without viewing the spectacular views of the Three Sisters rock formation from this lookout. There are a lot of tourists, although the platforms are well structured to give you a great view. There are numerous walking trails from here, include a 30-minute walk to the Three Sisters themselves. Signs can be mixed: either only in English, or sometimes also in Chinese.
Overlooking the sandstone cliffs of Grose Valley, Evans lookout is just one example as to why the views of the Blue Mountains can never get boring. The lookout includes a carpark nearby, along with some toilets. The lookout also has trails to the nearby Govetts Leap lookout as well as the Grand Canyon.
