8th - 10th February 2018
Visited the Blue Mountains at Katoomba to show my brother around - didn't take the camper but stayed at a motel near Echo Point.
Echo Point
Wandered down to Echo Point to look at the view and The Three Sisters. When you look down the valley you can understand why the early settlers took decades to find a way through the mountains (they didn’t think to ask the Aborigines who crossed the mountains all the time).
Climbed down the Great Staircase only as far as the cave on the first sister.
Scenic World
Spent the morning at Scenic World. Very sophisticated these days, when I first visited it was, to say the least, very basic but in those days it was great fun. The boardwalk in the rainforest is very enjoyable but the queues for the rides are not fun.
Leura Cascades
Away from the hustle of Scenic World a walk down the Leura Cascades, much quieter and relaxing.
Bygone Beautys
Quick visit for their Devonshire Teas and a look at the teapots.
Toy and Rail Museum
Don’t you hate in when the toys of your childhood appear in a Museum?
Sir Henry Parkes Grave
Norman Lindsay Gallery
Author, artist, poet, sculptor, model builder is there no end to his talent?
