Blue Mountains Scenic World

Katoomba Scenic World is a popular privately-owned tourist attraction located at the southern end of the town of Katoomba in the Blue Mountains, about 100 kilometers west of Sydney. Scenic World is home to a number of attractions, of which the two most famous are the Katoomba Scenic Railway and the Katoomba Scenic Skyway.




A ride into the valley on the Railway or Cableway and a ride out of the valley on the Railway or Cableway. Includes Walkway.

Got our tickets and ready to explore the world.



Ride the steepest incline railway in the world down to a lush and hidden valley! The 415 metre descent will lead you through a cliff-side tunnel into ancient rainforest. From there you are free to explore the Scenic Walkway which will guide you through the forest to the Scenic Cableway platform. The Scenic Railway can carry up to 84 passengers and operates every 10 minutes.

    That place looks cold and beautiful. It reminds me of Genting Highland. I have not been there for quite some time.

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable.

When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people.
