The Blue Mountains of New South Wales gained their name Blue Mountains as a result of the blue haze that covers them when seen from a distance (especially in hot weather).

The extensive Eucalyptus bushland of the Blue Mountains give off eucalyptus oil from their leaves. Some of this merges with the atmosphere to form a distinctive blue haze. This blue haze is far less evident nowadays, due to the extensive building developments that have seen deforestation of the mountains.
