A Blue Mountains Day

After yesterday’s wonderful day at the coast, we turned our attention westward to the Blue Mountains. After about a hour+ drive we ended up at a place called Scenic World where we could ride on aerial trams and a really, really steep funicular. Nancy loved all the rides today because they were all so high!

Really she did.

The Blue Mountains are truly spectacular, right up there with the Grand Canyon for awe inspiring vistas. The flora and fauna are so different to what we see in Canada with a real Jurassic Park feeling when you walk along the trails in the canyon floor.

Karen, our hostess, grew up in this area. She provided a real “locals only” insiders description as we toured the area.

We wrapped up our day with a late lunch at the Covington Pub, an old bank building that has been repurposed, in the town of Katoomba. If you are ever in the area, highly recommended.

A really great day in the Blue Mountains.Read more
