Len knows the Blue Mountains better than the back of his hand.

He has spent the majority of his life exploring and photographing the blue mountains

Every photographer needs to spend at least a week there with Len just to appreciate the unseen.

Len recommends seven days many choose five

From locations that can be photographed just a short walk from the vehicles to ones that take days to get too.

spring and autumn are ideal times to visit

Len prefers May and June for the rain and mist

August and February are the ones to miss, for the winds and the heat

Katoomba and Leura have the best mist and are the easiest with resturants

Blackheath in Autumn is absolutely stunning for the fall colours

Leura is famous for its garden festivals - September and October the flowers shine

For orchids Len suggests November

Summer is a welcome relief from hotter Sydney

The shear size of the Blue Mountains Wilderness area is incredible.

10,000 square kilometres
