First ride - Scenic Skyway

This place has 3 "rides". First up we did the scenic skyway.

It is like a team that takes you across this huge valley. It is 380 meters across and 270 meters high. It takes you to the other side where you can walk out towards Echo Point and see the Three Sisters.

We opted not to walk all the way to Echo Point because we got on this place at about 1pm and the rides stopped at 430pm and we wanted to make sure we could see as much as possible. Plus it was incredibly windy. Uncomfortably windy, at times. We went to some lookouts and took photos. Then we walked the opposite way to see the Katoomba falls. Really cool. They said the waterfall has never stopped flowing.

We saw a lot of white cockatoos flying around. Those were pretty fun to watch as their coloring stood out from the greenery. Which, by the way, was beautiful. The skyway itself wasn't even that scary. Mildly but not really. We rode looking out one side on the way there and then rode the skyway back and looked out at the opposite side.

It was a relatively quick ride. Worth it though!Read more
