Day 29 – Katoomba
Last day in the vicinity of Sydney, so we went on a day trip to an icon of the Blue Mountains: Katoomba. The weather was ideal and that, along with it being the weekend, might have contributed to the large number of visitors at the famous lookout on Echo Point. We diverted to a quieter spot nearby called Landslide Lookout, and were rewarded with views of some spectacular cliffs:
Another nearby lookout, called Mailata Lookout, gives a good (though distant) view of the Three Sisters formation:
We had a bite of lunch and decided to visit Scenic World, where they’ve now installed some modern cable cars. We were again turned off by the crowd, and decided to simply hike down the Furber Steps instead.
This route felt a little more relaxed. We tagged along with a guided tour for a time, and absorbed some local flavour.
On the way home that afternoon, we had Ribs and Burgers for dinner again. Third time in three days!
That’s enough Sydney. It’s time to move on.
