Katoomba

Leura Considered the most urbane and sophisticated village in the Blue Mountains, Leura has a beautiful tree-lined main street with impressive gardens, specialty shops, galleries and restaurants. Everglades Gardens (Everglades Ave) is a celebrated 1930s garden with a gallery devoted to its creator, Paul Sorensen. Leuralla (Olympian Pde) is a historic Art Deco mansion with a major collection of toys, dolls, trains and railway memorabilia. There are spectacular mountain views from Sublime Pt and Cliff Dr. The Leura Gardens Festival is held in Oct. Lyrebird Dell, near Leura, is an Aboriginal campsite estimated to be 12 000 years old. Relics can be found throughout the area, including rock engravings, axe-grinding grooves and cave paintings. All Aboriginal sites, discovered or undiscovered, are protected and are not to be disturbed by visitors. 3 km E.

Blue Mountains National Park Echo Pt is the best place to view the Three Sisters, which are floodlit at night. Aboriginal Dreamtime legend tells of three beautiful sisters, Meehni, Wimlah and Gunnedoo, who lived in the Jamison Valley with the Katoomba people. The girls fell in love with three brothers from the Nepean people, but tribal law forbade their marriages. The brothers would not accept this and attempted to capture the sisters, causing a major battle. A witchdoctor from the Katoomba people feared that the girls were in danger, so he turned them to stone to protect them, intending to return them to their true forms when the battle was over. This was not to be, however, as the witchdoctor was killed in battle and the three sisters, at 922 m, 918 m and 906 m high, remain trapped as a magnificent rock formation. Nearby Orphan Rock is thought to be the witchdoctor. Also at Echo Pt is the Giant Stairway: 800 steps leading to the valley floor. Near Wentworth Falls, 7 km E , is an eco-designed cafe with great views, and the Valley of the Waters picnic area. For other parts of the park see Blackheath and Glenbrook.

Blue Mountains Scenic World Located near Katoomba Falls, the Three Sisters and Echo Pt, Scenic World takes in some of the best scenery in the national park. Take a ride on the Scenic Railway, which was originally built to transport coal and miners and is the world’s steepest railway, or on the Scenic Skyway, a 7 km ride in a cable car high up over the Jamison Valley. There is also Sceniscender, which descends into the heart of the valley, and plenty of other attractions to explore on foot; (02) 4780 0200, 1300 759 929; south of town.

Explorers Tree: blackbutt tree reportedly carved with initials of Blaxland, Wentworth and Lawson (there is some question about whether this was done by the explorers or by early tourism operators); west of town, off hwy. Hazelbrook: small village with Selwood Science and Puzzles featuring a puzzle room, science kits, bookshop and local artwork. Hazelbrook hosts Regatta Day in Feb on Wentworth Falls Lake; 17 km  E.
