Iconic and Sublime

Today was the day for the iconic Katoomba attractions and sights. It started with Scenic World, where a $35 pass lets you ride the Cableway, the Skyway and the Railway as many times as you like in the one day. Needless to say, we rode everything twice as well as walking the majority of the scenic walkway through the temperate rainforest on the valley floor. We were pleased we went on a weekday rather than the weekend as we were told that the sights are very crowded on weekends.

The railway is the steepest passenger train in the world and we had front seats ...

You can see Katoomba Falls and the Three Sisters clearly from the Skyway ...

You can walk to Echo Point along a cliff top walk from Scenic World if you wish - we chose to drive. The view, as always, is magnificent ...

We drove the scenic Cliff Drive from Echo Point to Leura, calling in at The Gordon Falls and Sublime Point.

Definitely sublime ...

Our final stop for the day was Leura Cascade ...

We leave the Blue Mountains tomorrow - travelling the Bells Line of Road so we can get one last fix of the mountains.  You could easily spend a couple more days here exploring walks, waterfalls and lookouts. You would need even more time if you wanted to explore the shops and galleries.
