Day 26

Today we went to Scenic World in the Blue Mountains.

  

This meant that I went on a cable car three times and the steepest railway in the world once!

Sam and Amber are on this cable car! We are standing below Katoomba Falls.

This is the cable car down the mountain. These are not things I normally do but I'm getting braver! A lot! After a picnic we walked down to the Falls and the boys and I decided to walk down to the railway station rather than go in the cable car. 

This is the start of the Falls. Little did I realise that this was a sharp 50 minute descent like coming down Snowden 700 meters involving hundreds of stairs and mud through the cool rainforest canopy. 

Pausing for a rest 

The boys were very good natured throughout it all and we were encouraged by other climbers coming up. We managed to finally meet up with the others after a scary train journey back up. The sandstone of the Blue Mountains is famous for The Three Sisters and the oil of the eucalyptus tree causes the blue mist of the mountains. 

We also walked through an interesting Scenic Sculpture trail. 

Back home the owners had text to warn of an intruder reported by a neighbour lurking around! Unfortunately I think it may be me as I was lurking around taking photos this morning and they may not be used to strange UK woman with a camera lurking round the bush! Anyway lock up your doors!
