Bluetopia: putting Australia's Blue Mountains on the map
The short film Bluetopia about the outstanding climbing, walking, high lining and BASE Jumping in Australia's Blue Mountains. Simon Blair of Mission Control Collective explains the motivation behind this film.

Simon Blair and Giovanni Trambaiolo on Super Trance (23), Pierces Pass.
A lot of climbers visit Australia and already know about Arapiles and the Grampians, but depart without ever visiting the Blue Mountains. But it's an equally amazing place, almost all the dedicated climbers in Australia live here because it's beautiful, close to Sydney and has a super community of cool adventurers which grows every year with new arrivals. With our film we really set out to put the Blue Mountains on the destination list. And we also set out to remind people there are some big issues facing the world right now, with climate change in particular, that could ultimately threaten these wild places we all love.
