Look past the tear gassing, the helicopter dismounts, and the freezing ice bath swims, and you'll see there's a lot of beauty to be found in the new TV show, SAS Australia. This is mainly because of the filming location, the gorgeous Capertee Valley. It's the perfect place for a self guided cycling tour.

 

 

 

Capertee Valley sits by the Blue Mountains in NSW. You can escape the big city lights of Sydney and reach the Capertee Valley in about 2 hours drive. Unlike the thrilling TV show, it's actually an incredibly relaxing region that's largely undiscovered by tourism. Capertee Valley is also home to the world's widest and longest enclosed valley - 1km wider than the Grand Canyon!

 

 

 

 

Amidst the filming locations of SAS Australia, you can clearly see the World Heritage-listed wilderness, which includes the Wollemi and the Gardens of Stone National Parks.

 

 

Catch glimpses of the unspoilt nature of the Capertee Valley in the trailer for SAS Australia below or watch the full series on Channel 7.
