Your going on a road trip!

Have you got itchy feet? Need a change of scene………then come on a mini road trip……it’s not too long or far …

Today your itinerary is a trip to Katoomba with a coffee break or two. No not via the freeway, how could you even consider that option. We head up through the Hawkesbury  area to Wiseman’s Ferry. Did you enjoy your private cruise on the Ferry? Ok I know it was all of 5 minutes ,if that. The view from the lookout overlooking the valley was beautiful, don’t you think and your tour is not costing you 17 shillings and 6 pence.  The trees are magnificent and it’s amazing how many have survived fires over the years.

From here you are to admire the view from Wentworth Falls lookout. Did you check out the wildflowers? It was a good excuse so we could socially distance from other ‘tourist’.

Treat time. No lunch so you could indulge in High Tea at the Hydro Majestic, My parents caught the train to Medlow Bath for their honeymoon. There have been a few changes since then.

As you waddle back to the car, be warned you will need to walk a little to wear off allllllll that food. A trip to the mountains is nothing without a trip to the Three Sisters and Echo Point. Still beautiful and still rocks. No one has broken the spell and turned the rocks back into the three girls.

You need a rest! Well I suppose you can book in to a hotel. Did I tell you that I love Art Deco and Art Nouveau architecture ? We are ending the day in Katoomba at the Carrington Hotel. You are in fine company as many famous people have stayed in this  stunning old lady.

Get settled, we will have a walk down the Main Street and then you can retire gracefully to your room. Hope you bought your raincoat as storms are predicted.
