Katoomba Falls
The roads are very wide, and most houses are bungalows with corrugated tin roofs, and each property has a mail box by the road. It’s very quiet until you reach Echo point where lots of day trip coach tours arrive.
We had breakfast at the cafe which opened just as we arrived so we were the first customers of the day.
Today we walked in the other direction along the cliff walk stopping at the viewing places to view the vastness of the mountains. We met a 30 year old man from Bolton, solo, he reminded me of Henry! He had already spent 3 weeks in USA, was now in Sydney with this day trip to the Blue Mountains, he had been to coffe harbour, was going to do 2 weeks driving around the New Zealand South Island, then Fiji, Singapore, and had 4 jobs waiting to choose from applications he’d made, including the one he had already got who let him leave to go travelling. He was a quantity surveyor turned contract manager. The walk was 2.5 miles, and we left the young man at the cable car station.
We took the bus to Katoomba and then the train to wentworth falls. As the scenic route was closed we decided to just look around the town (bookshop and bakery) and had lunch on a bench.
On the train a friendly elderly lady from Ireland chatted about her family who she was visiting. I found out all about her children and late husband who died of a rare Parkinson’s disease, but the conversation was cut short as the ride back was very short!
