In New South Wales, in eastern Australia, there is a huge natural area that is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.<\/p>\n

Cervantes, a town in Australia whose streets are full of Spanish names<\/a><\/rel>
\nKiwirrkurra, the beautiful landscapes of Australia's most remote community<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

This area is known as the Great Blue Mountains and covers 10,300 square kilometers<\/strong>, an area larger than the entire Community of Madrid. This natural area stretches from the city of Sydney inland and encompasses seven national parks<\/strong>. Its name comes from an optical effect caused by the evaporation of eucalyptus essential oil in warm weather, which gives the mountains a bluish hue.<\/p>\n

This area is formed by a large sandstone plateau that reaches 1,300 meters above sea level<\/strong>. The most common tree in the area is the eucalyptus, with up to 91 different species. Furthermore, in this place\u2014specifically in Wollemi National Park\u2014you can find the Wollemia, a type of pine that coexisted with the dinosaurs<\/strong> and was believed to be extinct until it was rediscovered in 1994 by David Noble, Michael Casteleyn, and Tony Zimmerman. Last year, adventurer and filmmaker Harmen Hoek<\/a> published an excellent video of a four-day solo trek through this area:<\/strong><\/p>\n
