Katoomba Scenic World

Looking through the trees on the way back up
View across the Jamieson Valley with the Three Sisters

The majesty of the sandstone escarpments

Scenic World at Katoomba is like visiting the Blue Mountains National Park in a zoo. I only say this because everything is made so beautifully easy for you to access the rainforest and view the Jamieson Valley and the Three Sisters with little physical effort. That being said you still get to walk under the trees breathe in the pristine air and feel one with nature. Nick and I had a great time wandering for an hour along the walkways and photographing the trees and tree ferns.
After completing our walk and ride the weather closed in over the mountains and it rained and we watched the clouds close in around us. Later this day we experienced some hail drops. Even nature cannot be tamed too easily.




We hope that you enjoyed looking at our pics.
