Wake up in the heart of the Blue Mountains, where can either disembark for an excursion to Echo Point Lookout for stunning views of the Three Sisters and Jamison Valley, before continuing to Sydney on a private charter NSW Train Link, or remain on board the Indian Pacific to arrive into Sydney earlier.
