Our Family Escape visits Blue Mountain NSW
- VISITING BLUE MOUNTAINS: NSW -
Whilst in Katoomba, we stayed at Stay KCC to explore the area. We visited the following:
- Scenic World Blue Mountains where we went on the Blue Mountains Scenic Railway (a 52 degree incline riding the steepest passenger railway in the world), going on the Katoomba Scenic Skyway with its glass bottom floor, going from cliff to cliff over the canopy, the Scenic Cableway where you descend to the bottom of the canopy and the Katoomba Scenic Walkway where you can take a walk through the Rainforest and read the history of the miners and original cable carts.
We paid $94 (family) to have access to all areas all day. You can ever enjoy, keep your wrist band on and come back later that day.
There's a cafe / restaurant there and Summer loved the GF slushies. Access was easy for all areas including on / off the rides and on the Walkway boardwalk.
- Echo Point, Katoomba, Blue Mountains where you can see the most amazing views of the area including the three sisters and the great dividing range.
- The Lookout, Echo Point just walking distance from the lookout, we enjoyed a drink to celebrate Valentine's day overlooking the mountain range.
- Mount York Campground about a 25 min drive from Katoomba, it's an alternative free camping spot, but it was full of tents so we stayed elsewhere However it was also the location of some very historical monuments relating to the crossing of the Blue Mountains and an amazing lookout. Well worth the trip and has enough parking for caravans at the lookout.
- Hildas Lookout another great lookout
- Gordon Falls Lookout had good parking (without the van,) but was quite a step stair case to get to the viewing platform. I actually had to carry Jorja down the steps. Well worth it though with the views of the Gordon Falls. They are running as its a natural spring.
- Eagle Hawk Lookout was a short walk from the campground and it the first view of the three sisters. A great lookout to see the area that you are about to explore.
- Leura, New South Wales. A beautiful little town we drove through to get to Echo Point. Plenty of car parks and cafes to enjoy.
Such a beautiful area to visit, friendly staff in all the places, easy access to most lookouts, plenty of various grade walking tracks, this is really a place you can't miss.

Katoomba es la ciudad más visitada en las Montañas Azules. No fue hasta 1879 que se conoció la ciudad de Katoomba cuando J.B. North abrió la mina de carbón de Katoomba. El carbón se obtuvo del lado de la montaña cerca de Orphan Rock usando un teleférico para llevar el carbón a la cima. El ahora famoso Scenic Railway opera en el corte original en la ladera de la montaña.
El Scenic Railway es la pendiente ferroviaria más empinada del mundo y ahora es una de las atracciones turísticas más populares de Australia. El viaje lo lleva por el empinado descenso pasando Orphan Rock, a través de un túnel y el hermoso acantilado húmedo de helecho. Adyacente al Scenic Railway se encuentra el Scenic Cableway, el teleférico aéreo más empinado de Australia. El teleférico panorámico lo lleva en un viaje de 545 metros a la selva tropical del área de Patrimonio Mundial de las Montañas Azules Mayores del valle de Jamison. Scenic World también cuenta con un espectacular Scenic Walkway. Una opción popular para los visitantes es descender al valle a través del Scenic Railway, pasear por el Scenic Walkway y ascender a la cima a través del Scenic Cableway. También en el mismo sitio se encuentra el magnífico Scenic Skyway. El Skyway original fue el primer Skyway de Australia por cable para pasajeros y fue construido en 1958. El nuevo Skyway con un piso con fondo de cristal, puede transportar hasta 84 pasajeros a través del Jamison Valley a una altura de 200 metros Las vistas son impresionantes.

El carácter de las Tres Hermanas cambia a lo largo del día y a lo largo de las estaciones a medida que la luz del sol resalta los magníficos colores. The Three Sisters también está iluminada por la noche y se ve aún más impresionante contra el fondo negro del cielo nocturno. Para aquellos que deseen saber más sobre las Tres Hermanas, vale la pena leer las Historias de los sueños aborígenes.

En la ciudad: De vuelta en el centro de la ciudad, el primer hotel en Katoomba fue erigido en 1882 por el Sr. Harry Rowell. Conocido como el Great Western Hotel, este establecimiento atrajo a muchos visitantes a la zona. El hotel fue vendido en 1886 al Sr. F. Goyder, quien realizó importantes modificaciones en el edificio y lo renombró The Carrington después del actual gobernador. El Carrington se sometió a una importante renovación y volvió a abrir al público en 1998. En el lado norte de la Great Western Highway se encuentra la oficina central del Ayuntamiento de Blue Mountains, el Renaissance Center y The Edge Cinema. The Edge tiene una de las pantallas de cine más grandes del hemisferio sur. Los visitantes de The Edge pueden disfrutar de un documental de 40 minutos titulado The Edge.

The Golf Links Lookout is one of the less visited lookouts in the Blue Mountains. It is accessible by a good track from either the Pool of Siloam (Gordon Falls) or the end of Gladstone Rd Leura. In this video I returned the same way but there are some alternative routes which involve quite a bit of road walking.

Katoomba
Katoomba is the most visited town in the Blue Mountains. It wasn’t until 1879 that the town of Katoomba became known when J.B. North opened the Katoomba Coal Mine. Coal was obtained from the side of the mountain near Orphan Rock using a cable car to bring the coal to the top. The now famous Scenic Railway operates in the original cutting in the mountain side.
Scenic World
The Scenic Railway is the steepest railway incline in the world and is now one of the most popular man-made tourist attractions in Australia. The ride takes you down the steep descent past Orphan Rock, through a tunnel and the beautiful fern-damp cliff face.
Adjacent to the Scenic Railway is the Scenic Cableway, the steepest aerial cable car in Australia. The Scenic Cableway takes you on a 545 metre ride into the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area rainforest of the Jamison valley. Scenic World also features a spectacular Scenic Walkway. A popular option for visitors is to descend into the valley via the Scenic Railway, stroll along the Scenic Walkway and ascend to the top via the Scenic Cableway.
Also at the same site is the magnificent Scenic Skyway.The original Skyway was Australia’s first cable Skyway for passengers and was built in 1958. The new Skyway with a glass bottom floor, can carry up to 84 passengers across the Jamison Valley at a height of 200 metres. The views are breathtaking.

The Three Sisters at Echo Point
A visit to the Blue Mountains would not be complete without viewing the spectacular Three Sisters at Echo Point. Directions to the Three Sisters are well signposted. Either take Katoomba Street or Lurline Street to Echo Point Road. The Three Sisters is approximately 2.5 kilometres from the Great Western Highway or Katoomba Railway Station. While the Blue Mountains features so much more than this natural attraction you can’t help but admire the unquestionable beauty of this amazing rock formation.
The character of the Three Sisters changes throughout the day and throughout the seasons as the sunlight brings out the magnificent colours. The Three Sisters is also floodlit at night looking even more stunning set against the black background of the night sky. For those wishing to know more about the Three Sisters, the Aboriginal Dream Time Stories are well worth a read.

The centre has many Australian gifts for sale and can provide you with a vast array of information on things to do and see within the area, and how to get there.
In town
Back in the centre of town, the first hotel in Katoomba was erected in 1882 by Mr. Harry Rowell. Known as the ‘Great Western Hotel’, this establishment attracted many visitors to the area. The hotel was sold in 1886 to Mr. F. Goyder who performed major alterations on the building and renamed it The Carrington after the reigning Governor. The Carrington underwent a major renovation and re-opened to the public in 1998.
On the north side of the Great Western Highway you is the head office of the Blue Mountains City Council, the Renaissance Centre and The Edge Cinema. The Edge has one of the largest cinema screens in the southern hemisphere. Visitors to The Edge can enjoy a 40min documentary titled ‘The Edge'.
