More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Morning light slices across the Jamison Valley as a private SUV threads the hairpins toward Katoomba. Eucalypt leaves shimmer and the air smells faintly of gum oil; cliffs step down in sandstone tiers while distant waterfalls announce themselves with white threads. The day begins with a village coffee, then moves through Scenic World's engineering wonders—the Scenic Railway, Cableway and Skyway—where glass and cable push visitors above a sea of canopy and sandstone.
