Lilianfels Blue Mountains Katoomba

... the temperatures plummeted to 10 degrees. First stop was Leura, a lovely little historic town. We visited a patchwork shop where I indulged in some fabric and we all bought some delicious home made fudge. From there we went to see a film on the Blue Mtns on a giant screen at the Edge Theatre. This was a spectacular way to travel into the mountains and at times we felt like we were in a helicopter as we got close to the sides of the gorges.<br><br>Next stop was Blackheath and ...

... mois doit donner comme résultats !!!<br><br>Tout ce que je peux dire en conclusion c&#8217;est que c&#8217;était une expérience EX-TRA-OR-DI-NAI-RE. C&#8217;était aussi dur que ce que je pensais mais qu&#8217;est-ce ca en vaut la peine !!!....<br><br>Je rentre donc sur Sydney et en profite pour revoir mes amis John, Julia et Claudia. Et quelques jours plus tard je repars pour l'aeroport, destination Thailande cette fois ci....<br><br>xxx<br><br><br><br><br><b r><br><br><br><br><br><br>

... ever try to do a walk in the Swiss mountains. ;-)<br><br>Well after all there was at least one advice I didn`t ignore: Tracey, a girl from Bristol who also shared the room with us decided to join me for that walk.<br><br><br> Mt Solitary Early next morning we (me and Tracey) took a cab to the "golden Stairway&#8220;, a steep descend into Jamison Valley, where we started our walk. It looked like it was going to be a sunny day, but the ...

... yet! We took some photos and left to Katoomba town.<br><br>1730: We had our Dinner @ Country Noodles Takeaway Cafe! The Mongolian Noodle (Black noodle in the picture) was too sweet for us!<br><br>1800: Drove back to the motel and arrived in 10mins.<br><br>*Note: Nothing to do at night except watching TV programs till we fell asleep! Think this one time experience in Blue Mountains is good enough! Won't want to come again as the drive to this town was pretty far and slow!

... is where Simon, Tom and Myself decided to go mountain biking on some off road trails, away from most tourists. Luckily we were only doing a half day (because the others both had to leave at 3), because i can tell you i was buggered beyond belief, the others made it look too easy. Off the dirt track about 1.5 hours we found an amazing place to see spectacular views of the Blue Mountains and also stop for a bite too eat. So i find Myself unable to function properly from ...

... Do you know the public bar often has a betting shop n it! It was a long 75Km drive each way along twisty windy roads but the cave tour was worth it and lovely and cool inside! We made a quick stop at Evans Lookout on the way back and were back at the hotel in time for a quick shower and change before driving off to a restaurant called Solitary near Leura. The food and service were excellent but sadly the glorious sunset views did not materialise as it decided to ...

... dear life and crouching on the floor - he apologised afterwards but said he couldn't miss this amazing scenery for some pointless fear he had. Good man. Come 5pm the buses were stopping, and the air was getting distinctly cold, so we went back to put multiple layers on to go out for food. Now Katoomba is well appointed for nice lunches and touristy boutique shops that sell... stuff... but for evening meals I wouldn ...

... this marked the boundary of the national park. He took us to our first location somewhere where he said would be our best chance to spot wild kangaroos. As we got closer to the car park, there was a huge cluster of cockatoos huddling around feeding on the grass. We walked up towards another tour group up ahead and saw a few true kangaroos, which were used to human presence according to Jim. He talked about them in ...
