With amazing virews, chilly days and cold nights this lofty region close to Sydney is a great base for any Christmas in July plans. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Built shortly after the Second World War, <a href=\"http:\/\/lindenobservatory.com.au\/\">The Linden Observatory<\/a> is a great reason to visit the Blue Mountains over a long weekend with this volunteer-run organisation running weekend astronomy beginner courses.  <\/p>\n\n\n<p>One of the oldest tourist activities in the Blue Mountains, walking is a year-round activity. But we don\u2019t need to elucidate here, NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service has put together a fantastic guide: <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au\/walks-to-brave-this-winter-in-sydney-and-surrounds\/\">walks to \u2018brave\u2019 this winter<\/a>. \n<\/p>\n\n\n<p>While adventure awaits in the mountains, the local towns of Bilpin and Leura are excellent short-stay options. Famed for its apples, pick your own at Bilpin Springs Orchard or head over to The Pines Orchard for a tasty apple-based treat. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>When in Leura, strolling the pretty main street is a singularly wonderful activity &#8211; especially when you can take the kids for a baked-treat at Unique Patisserie. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>With parts of the town being certified by the National Trust, seeing some of the heritage buildings is a must. Built in the 1890s and listed on the NSW Heritage list, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluemountainsgazette.com.au\/story\/6066946\/mondeval-history-information-wanted\/\">Mondeval <\/a>is a beautiful example of Victorian Regency design and a great starting point for any historical tour. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Home inspo: <\/p>\n\n\n<p>Mining was an early industry in Leura and many of the miners\u2019 cottages have been beautifully restored and maintained. Examples include Loran @ Luera, an 1890s miners cottage and the cosy 1-bedroom home <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stayz.com.au\/holiday-rental\/p9053043\">Piccolo<\/a>.

Like Leura, mining was an early industry but in this case the mineral was gold. To get a grasp of the region\u2019s history take the family for a walk through Millthorpe\u2019s Heritage-Listed main street or dig deeper at the Golden Memories Millthorpe Museum. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>For some kid-free time, amateur sommeliers of all grades will find many excellent cellar doors with numerous top-rated restaurants to match. <\/p>\n\n\n<p>A wonderful winter activity are Orange\u2019s many outdoor activities.
