Visiting The Blue Mountains

Our first outing in George was to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. After driving through the darkness for an hour and a half we arrived to find nothing open in this little town except for Dominos Pizza so we stopped off at a Motel nearby. Unfortunately it was sandwiched between a road and a train line giving us a less than restful night. Taking advantage of another beautiful sunny day we drove down a tourist trail to explore our new surroundings. Our first sighting of the Blue Mountains was breathtaking, nothing but mountains and rainforest for mile after mile.

Along the trail we visited a place called Scenic World. Here we rode on the worlds steepest railway, which is almost vertical through a natural tunnel in the rocks, viewed Katoomba Falls from the Skyway (a cable car with a glass floor) and walked through a small section of rainforest.
