Blackheath is a historic village in the upper Blue Mountains, named by Governor Macquarie in 1815.
The town is also known as "Rhododendron Town" after the many colourful varieties of this shrub that burst into bloom every November.
Fairfax Heritage Track begins and ends at the NPWS Heritage Centre – a gentle sloping track, suitable for wheelchairs. The track offers views of Bridal View Falls, the Grose Valley and abundant birdlife.
Things to do
Blackhealth is surrounded by natural beauty. Enjoy a day exploring the local wonders of the Blue Mountains national park, walk any of the many walking tracks that surround Govett's Leap, even spend the night camping in the Grose Valley.
