Lawson
A little village in New South Wales's Blue Mountains with a disproportionate number of cafés, restaurants, and historic churches for its size, Lawson sits along the Great Western Highway and serves as the commercial hub of the mid-mountains area. A railway station on the Main Western line makes it easy to reach, and scenic viewpoints are within close range, with the broader Blue Mountains region recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage area.
