An alternative route is to travel along the Great Western Highway through Penrith, Glenbrook, Wentworth Falls, Katoomba and Mt Victoria. At Mt Victoria turn right along the Darling Causeway to Bell, and then right again along Bells Line of Road to Mt Wilson & Mt Irvine. This route takes about 2.5 hours from Sydney.
