Itinerary:

Day 1: A Day of travel as we head towards our accommodation at Katoomba in the Blue Mountains. A stop for morning tea at Buladelah supplied by Port Bus. Our lunch stop and maybe time for a quick shop at Westfields Tuggerah., lunch at your own expense. Plenty to choose from in the food court for a bite to eat, or just shop if you like instead. Dinner tonight will be served in the hotel restaurant this evening

Day 2: We wake to fresh mountain air today and enjoy breakfast at the hotel. After breakfast, we will make our way for a visit to Scenic World where we will take a ride on the Scenic Railway, the world's steepest incline railway. We descend 415 metres down the escarpment at a gradient of 52 degrees and travel through the tunnel and ancient rainforest. When we disembark, we take the 300-metre rainforest boardwalk to connect with the Flyway platform. The Scenic Flyway is the steepest aerial cable car in Australia. It will take us on a 545-metre ride up through the world heritage-listed rainforest of the Jamieson Valley. Our final adventure at Scenic World is to join the Scenic Skyway to take the journey 270 metres above ancient ravines and dazzling waterfalls. This ride boasts a world-first, state-of-the-art Electro-Scenic Glass floor. At the flip of a switch breath taking views are revealed through the cabin floor directly below. The 360-degree bird's eye view takes in the Three Sisters, Katoomba Falls, Mount Solitary, and the never-ending expanse of the Jamieson Valley. After our morning in the outdoors, we are ready for our High Tea at the beautiful Hydro Majestic Hotel in Medlow Bath. Featuring majestic and panoramic views, the Hydro Majestic is one of Australia’s most iconic historical hotels. With its understated elegance and warm ambiance featuring plush furnishings, fireplace, and charming artworks. We have plenty of time here to relax over this grand tradition whilst enjoying the spectacular views of the Megalong Valley. Dinner tonight will be served in the hotel restaurant this evening

Day 3: This morning, after breakfast we head straight to the Jenolan Caves. Tucked in a valley, the caves were discovered by accident over 150 years ago. Jenolan Caves, has, since then, been a spellbinding part of the Blue Mountains experience. People have come from all over the world to see Jenolan’s spectacular limestone caves. We pass through the towering Grand Arch and arrive at Jenolan Caves. Upon our arrival, we enjoy a guided tour through the Imperial Cave. It is here our local guide explains stalagmites, stalactites, and many other wonders providing an educational and fascinating insight into this natural phenomenon. The caves and their amazing formations were initially explored by men slithering up and down muddy slopes with only candlelight to guide them. Nowadays the tours are a lot more civilized. The caves are set amidst a 2416-hectare reserve that is host to an incredible variety of unique flora and fauna, so the area is just beautiful. Off to the Hampton Hotel for a light lunch before we take a self-guided tour of the Hartley Courthouse & St Bernard’s Church. We arrive back at our hotel with time to freshen up for our Christmas-themed dinner in the dining room.

Day 4: This morning after breakfast we head for home with a stop at Norman Lindsay Gallery. Enjoy a Devonshire Tea here. It is then onto Hornsby RSL Club for lunch. More comfort stops on the way home.
