KATOOMBA - 3 TO 6 OCTOBER 2022

 3 OCTOBER

We left home and drove to Anaconda to get a day pack for Jacinta. Next stop Katoomba in the Blue Mountains.

The GPS waylaid us a bit and there were a few minor traffic snarls but by lunchtime, we were at out camp site at Katooma Falls Campground.

The campground was straight opposite a number of smaller walks.

After lunch, we did the walks near the camp area. There were a number of lookouts and the Katoomba Waterfall. The walks were easy to follow, and it was fairly crowded. Still, it was nice.

Later, we had a night walk along the same tracks. It was well but subtly lit up. It was quite magical and some fo the mayor sites were lit up as well. Not many people at this time. 😊

4 OCTOBER

It was a cold night and we both had a bit of a broken sleep.

I was up early as I was due to start an abseiling adventure at 8am. There were six of us including the guide. It was a sensational morning with two abseils at three locations. The first was learning. The second 25 metres on a wall and small overhang. The third was 50 metres with a short wall and a long overhang. The views were sensation as well as the walk to the top after each drop.

In the afternoon, Jacinta and I did the rides at Scenic World – the cableway, the train and the skyway. All were great though the train was very exciting. At the base of the cliff we did the scenic walkway though rainforest in the Jamieson Valley.

Back at the camp for showers and dinner.

5 OCTOBER                                                                                           

Misty and drizzling in the morning and a light rain all day.

We enjoyed the dryness of the campervan. 😊

6 OCTOBER

We woke to rain and the weather report was for a further four days of rain so we decided to head back home and resume our trip when the weather improves. 😊
