Mount Wilson

Garden · Blue Mountains — NSW

A cool-climate village on a basalt-capped ridge in the upper Blue Mountains, its unusually rich soil supporting plane trees, elms and beeches planted by 19th-century Sydney families as a deliberate echo of European estates. Several private gardens, including Breenhold and Bebeah, open to the public on autumn festival weekends.

Best for: a weekend of open-garden visits
