Scenic World
Glide over a World-Heritage wonder
Katoomba’s Scenic World offers an unforgettable trip above (and through) the densely-wooded Jamison Valley. Ride the glass-floored Scenic Skyway gondola for dizzying views of the Valley and Three Sisters, then take the steep Scenic Railway down to the valley floor. Waiting for you is the Scenic Walkway, a 2.4km boardwalk leading through soothing temperate rainforest, some dating back to the Jurassic era. Mind cleared, head back up to the clifftop on the Scenic Cableway.
Tickets are timed and best reserved online in advance.
